USA - Tax - 360 Careers - EY Career Residency - January 2028

Will you shape the future or will the future shape you?

EY Career Residency Program

The 360 Careers Tax EY Career Residency is a multi-phase early careers experience that combines real client work with skill development, coaching, relationship-building and ongoing feedback. Designed as a launchpad for career readiness, this paid and structured program extends beyond a traditional eight-week internship to help you build the mindset, skillset and toolset needed for success as an early career professional. Unlike a traditional internship, the EY Career Residency provides more time, support, and opportunities to develop the skills and experiences that will prepare you for a future career with EY.

Choose the EY Career Residency Pathway that works for you!

EY strongly encourages candidates to participate in the full-term EY Career Residency experience which may last for up to 8 months. However, we recognize that not everyone may be able to commit to the full program. For those individuals, Tax also offers a Winter Term, 3-month EY Career Residency pathway.

Pathway 1: Tax Full-Term EY Career Residency

The Tax full-term experience includes two phases-a Client Service Immersion for the first three months which will continue into a five-month Skills Academy for Residents who receive and accept a full-time Analyst offer at the conclusion of the Client Service Immersion.

  • Client Service Immersion - January 2028 - March 2028


    • Full-time commitment of 40+ hours per week
    • Primarily in-person work experience
    • Participants must reside within commuting distance of their assigned EY office throughout this phase


  • Skills Academy - April 2028 - August 2028
    • Approximately 15-20 hours per month; conducted virtually
    • Includes a combination of live and asynchronous learning activities to support flexible participation
    • Participants may be located anywhere within the United States during this phase


The EY Residency program provides an early opportunity to build confidence, strengthen professional relationships, and develop skills that will support your long-term career journey and pathway into the 360 Careers Experience.

360 Careers is your journey through business, an experience designed to deliver world-class learning and immersive experiences that will allow you to shape your future with confidence. As a 360 Careers Tax Analyst, you'll participate in structured, skills-based experiences called "expeditions" which support your career interest and expand your business knowledge to become a well-rounded professional. Expeditions may include experiences across the Assurance and Tax service lines within various sectors and account types.

Pathway 2: Tax Winter Term Residency

  • Client Service Immersion - January 2028 - March 2028
    • Full-time commitment of 40+ hours per week
    • Primarily in-person work experience
    • Participants must reside within commuting distance of their assigned EY office throughout this program


Participants who complete the Winter Term Residency, and who receive and accept a 360 Careers Tax Analyst offer, will be required to complete comparable Skills Academy training six to eight weeks prior to progressing to a client-ready Tax Analyst.

Interview Consideration and Pathway Preference

Your recruiter will confirm your availability to complete the Full Term Residency or the Winter Term Residency when the EY Career Residency Offer is extended.

The Tax Resident opportunity

Join our dynamic EY Tax team, where our global expertise and deep technical knowledge across all tax disciplines are enhanced by the latest in innovation and cutting-edge technology. We pride ourselves on exceptional client service, strong accountability and governance, making us the top choice for industry executives and our largest revenue-generating US and global tax practice.

What you will do in Tax

Our 360 Careers Tax model is all about providing our people with the skills, information and knowledge to take on some of the biggest challenges in taxation. Here, you'll have the opportunity to spend time in a wide range of EY Tax service areas, covering everything from business, individuals, international, state and local, and transactions tax, to global compliance and reporting. As you become a broad-based tax professional, you'll have the knowledge and experience to choose which area of tax aligns with your skills and interests. And with the support of our industry-leading teams, there's no better place to gain this experience.

You can expect to develop a unique insight into our business, where you'll build a network of relationships in an area that influences major business decisions every day. As the team continues to grow, so will you. And over time, you'll become a well-rounded tax professional with broad experience in multiple areas of tax.

You'll spend a large portion of your time directly engaged in complex compliance projects for our clients. This will be balanced with research, planning and meeting with senior colleagues. Our firm focuses on a variety of industries, including but not limited to: automotive and transportation; consumer products; financial services; health and life sciences; media and entertainment; mining and metals; oil and gas; power and utilities; and technology.

  • Legal authorization to work in the US without the need for employer sponsorship, currently and in the future.


  • Maintain compliance with applicable EY policies, including independence and secondary employment.


  • An interest in working with our team-led and leader-enabled hybrid model. Our expectation is for most people in external, client serving roles to work together in person 60% of the time over the course of an engagement, project or year.


  • The ability and willingness to travel and work in excess of standard hours when necessary are required.


  • In certain circumstances, travel may be required beyond your work location based on client and project needs.


  • Access to reliable transportation to/from the EY office and client sites is required. A driver's license is strongly recommended as ride share, and public transportation options may not be available in all locations.
