Different service lines focus on different kind of jobs - if you can precise which one you think of, I may be able to help?

Tax?

07 May, 2019 16:14

Hi Ozan, tax as a service line is still massively varied with multiple different focuses. It can range from like compliance pieces which are more computational, receiving and processing data from clients whether it is for specific tax regimes or corporation tax to advisory pieces which can be so varied it is difficult to explain.

Hey Andrew, right, sounds quite interesting. Thanks for taking your time to answer my question. What about transactions advisory?

07 May, 2019 16:21

Hi Ozan - I work in Transactions Advisory Services

Hey, what is the day to day life like?

07 May, 2019 16:25

My day to day life would be different, based on what projects I would be on etc. So within Transactions, there are multiple Sub-Service Lines (SSLs), and I work specifically in Restructuring. Working in Restructuring can involve working with a range of companies, who are either solvent or insolvent. We would typically work with Solvent companies, on Financial Advisory cases, where we would be advising, companies/banks/bond holders or other lenders. We would also work on insolvent companies and work on Administrations of companies, some of which can be quite high profile. So in summary the work ranges based on the project I will be on, but the work is interesting and challenging.

Wow sounds exciting, could you give me an example of a project you worked on? Or the type of projects? What are they like?

07 May, 2019 16:33

A project I worked on, was an Administration, where EY was the Administrator of a Telecommunications company which has been going on for some time due to complex cross border issues. Some of the roles I had to do, involved International travel, I would be using Excel to different data and present my findings to my team. We would be working to ensure creditors get as high of a return as possible.

What about Peoples Advisory?

Hey Natasha what is your day to day life like?

07 May, 2019 16:43

I have worked in Global Mobility - which is more tax focused and requires you to sit tax exams, focusing on the tax and payroll position of individuals who are on overseas assignments from one country to another and helping them with aspects of their work abroad.
I now work in Workforce Advisory which is more HR focused and I have done projects on talent acquisition, people strategy and HR transformation. Mobility is office based but Workforce Advisory requires more travelling and you are working from client site like you would be in audit.
I did HR at uni so feel Workforce Advisory is much more suited to my interests however I know loads of people who find it really interesting working in tax.

Wow sounds really exciting, what are the projects like?

07 May, 2019 16:47

The projects are all so different which makes it exciting, it depends on size of the client, sector and what kind of project it is. My favourite project was the talent acquisition project so we reviewed the entire function and put forward recommendations for the client to take their talent function from established to leading on a maturity scale. For my people strategy project we ran interviews, focus groups and workshops this was also really fun. Each is very unique :)
