EY Business Consulting

Does anyone have any information on EY's Business Consulting Finance Transformation practice? Does anyone at EY know how easy it is to move across business lines and get exposure to more strategic work and not just across finance?

Curious to if it might be possible to jump after a year in this practice to more of a strategy consulting type role doing diligence, GTM strategy, corporate strategy, etc. or if that is pretty difficult to do. I know the move to EY-P is difficult but it looks like it has been done several times.

Hey – so I’m currently a Launch intern, which is basically a rotational program within EY. During onboarding/training, they’ve introduced us to the different service lines. So by no means am I a professional nor should you take this with more than 1/2 a grain of salt.

My understanding is that it’s pretty easy to move across service/business lines. Often times, you’ll be staffed across many different areas of exposure and the firm gives you a lot of leeway in terms of narrowing your decision. From my understanding, the move you’re looking to make is more than doable. However, I’d warn you that the practice you’re referring to doesn’t really have much to do with diligence/GTM strat/corporate strat. You’re basically going to be consulting busniesses on how to transform and update their financial team/statement to provide more value to shareholders (i.e., focusing on forward outlook / best-wording the management guidance). Not really finance/numbers as the other roles. But again, take this with a grain of salt. Hopefully more people can chime in, but will be unlikely cause this is an IB forum
