The opportunity

Our Financial Accounting Advisory Services (FAAS) team is growing exponentially, and as a manager you will play a key role in that growth. Your key role will be to drive growth by developing new and enhancing existing client relationships, lead highly skilled project teams and deliver a first-class customer experience through high profile engagements. In return for helping us to build a better working world, you can expect excellent career opportunities within a dynamic and collaborative environment.

Your key responsibilities

The nature of this role means no two projects will be the same. That means you'll need to think on your feet and challenge existing practices to develop answers to complex issues. You'll also be collaborating with colleagues across multiple service lines, so we'll look to you to build relationships and identify opportunities for our clients to benefit from our knowledge in other areas. Regular travel will be required as you will be meeting with key clients, some of those being the most respected in their fields.

Skills and attributes for success
  • Consulting with clients on complex accounting issues
  • Collaborating with partners, senior managers and clients to influence strategy, balancing risk and client expectations
  • Ensuring our Engagement team thoroughly understands our clients' unique needs, ambitions and expectations
  • Building relationships with colleagues across multiple service lines to provide seamless integrated service
  • Managing performance and identifying opportunities to improve our products and processes

To qualify for the role you must have
  • A bachelor's degree, supported by 5 to 8 years of audit or consulting work experience in a public accounting firm
  • US CPA licensure in your work state location
  • Strong technical writing skills and advanced risk management knowledge
  • A deep understanding of the marketplace, as well as commonly used terminology, processes and tools
  • A proven record of excellence when managing, mentoring and improving a team of high-performing colleagues
  • The confidence to research and resolve emerging client issues, including regulations, industry practices and new technologies
  • The ability and willingness to travel and work in excess of standard hours when necessary
  • Access to reliable transportation to/from the EY office and client sites. A driver's license is strongly recommended as ride share and public transportation options may not be available in all location


Ideally you'll also have
  • A master's degree in Accounting, Economics, Finance, Mathematics or related discipline
  • Work experience in a large firm


What we look for

We're interested in leaders with a genuine creative vision and the confidence to make it happen. You can expect plenty of autonomy in this role, so you'll also need the ability to take initiative and seek out opportunities to improve our current relationships and processes. If you're ready to take on some of our clients' most complex issues, this role is for you.

What we offer you
  • We offer a comprehensive compensation and benefits package where you'll be rewarded based on your performance and recognized for the value you bring to the business. The base salary range for this job in all geographic locations in the US is $112,700 to $206,500. The base salary range for New York City Metro Area, Washington State and California (excluding Sacramento) is $135,200 to $234,800. Individual salaries within those ranges are determined through a wide variety of factors including but not limited to education, experience, knowledge, skills and geography. In addition, our Total Rewards package includes medical and dental coverage, pension and 401(k) plans, and a wide range of paid time off options.
  • Join us in our team-led and leader-enabled hybrid model. Our expectation is for most people in external, client serving roles to work together in person 40-60% of the time over the course of an engagement, project or year.
  • Under our flexible vacation policy, you'll decide how much vacation time you need based on your own personal circumstances. You'll also be granted time off for designated EY Paid Holidays, Winter/Summer breaks, Personal/Family Care, and other leaves of absence when needed to support your physical, financial, and emotional well-being.
