The opportunity: your next adventure awaits

Do you want to understand the factors that drive successful financial processes, and maximize synergies and financial benefits? As a Trainee, you will support our Process Excellence team in understanding the challenges our clients face and collaborate with their finance teams to optimize their financial, and non-financial processes and reporting. You will assist the team in the analysis of clients' existing business procedures and in contributing with potential solutions, ensuring that the proposed solutions align with the goals of the client's organization. The Process Excellence team works with projects ranging from financial transformation to IPOs, and with a wide range of clients across industries. In addition, you will get the opportunity to collaborate and network with other advisory teams within EY on topics like sustainability and financial reporting.

  • You are curious and purpose driven. We’re looking for people who see opportunities instead of challenges, who ask better questions to seek better answers that build a better working world.
