At EY, we're all in to shape your future with confidence.

We'll help you succeed in a globally connected powerhouse of diverse teams and take your career wherever you want it to go.

Join EY and help to build a better working world.

At EY, you'll have the chance to build a career as unique as you are, with the global scale, support, inclusive culture and technology to become the best version of you. We're counting on your unique voice and perspective to help EY become even better, too. Join us and build an exceptional experience for yourself, and a better working world for all.

Consider a career-changing move to our EY Capital Markets team in London.

Our Capital Markets team is the leading practice of its kind in any professional services firm globally. It provides assurance and related services to clients accessing the capital markets. We provide regulatory and reporting advice with a focus on the United States of America (US) and United Kingdom (UK). For example, launching an initial public offering (IPO), US GAAP conversions, PE/M&A transactions and implementing SOX.

 

The opportunity

This is a high-profile role working with some of our most interesting clients and offers an exciting opportunity to further develop your technical and project management skills.

We are seeking US or UK qualified accountants with PCAOB and SEC auditing and reporting experience who are looking to broaden their experience across capital markets transactions and financial reporting matters.

You will benefit from exposure to our SEC foreign private issuers and private companies preparing for a US IPO while working alongside experienced Capital Markets professionals.

 

Your key responsibilities

  • Utilizing your skills with PCAOB audits, US GAAP, SOX and SEC reporting.
  • Supporting the delivery of technical accounting and capital markets advisory engagements.
  • Managing workstreams and coordinating project activities under the direction of senior team members.
  • Coaching and developing junior team members and supporting engagement delivery.
  • Building your network internationally.
  • Contributing to business development initiatives, proposals and thought leadership activities.

 

The skills and attributes for success

Colleagues and clients will look to you to provide high-quality technical support and project execution.

As you build on your knowledge and experience of PCAOB, US GAAP and SEC accounting and reporting requirements, you will become a trusted advisor to clients and engagement teams.\

 

To qualify for the role, you must have

  • Fully qualified as a US CPA or UK equivalent.
  • 3-5 years' PCAOB audit experience.
  • Strong knowledge of US GAAP, with baseline IFRS.
  • Experience providing services to clients undertaking capital raising activities.
  • Demonstrated project management and team coordination skills.
  • Excellent verbal and written communication skills.

What we look for

You will possess strong knowledge and practical experience working on PCAOB audits, including internal controls, capital raising transactions and complex accounting matters.

This role requires a proactive professional who can communicate effectively, collaborate across teams and deliver high-quality client service in a fast-paced international environment.

We're interested in highly motivated professionals who are keen to develop into future leaders, take ownership of their work and seek opportunities to broaden their technical and commercial experience. If you are ready to take on some of our clients' most complex challenges while accelerating your development, this is the role for you.

What we offer

EY is committed to being an inclusive employer and we will consider flexible working arrangements. We strive to achieve the right balance for our people, enabling us to deliver excellent client service whilst allowing you to build your career. Our client-facing professionals are required to travel regularly, and at times be based at client sites.

We offer a competitive remuneration package. Our comprehensive Total Rewards package includes support for flexible working and career development, and with FlexEY you can select benefits that suit your needs, covering holidays, health and well-being, insurance, savings and a wide range of discounts, offers and promotions.
