Contract: Permanent
Salary: £21,250 per annum
Employer: EY
Closing Date: Monday 12 June


Starting out in assurance requires dedication, hard work and long hours, but the knowledge and experience you’ll gain will set you on a fulfilling career path. You will receive structured training to upskill in digital technology such as data visualisation or design thinking and bring that into your audit work. You will complete a fully paid for professional qualification with the Institute of Chartered Accounts of Scotland (ICAS).

Employer:       
 
EY are a professional services organisation that helps companies make better decisions about business, finance and technology. How? By asking better questions that help us all in building a better working world. With 300,000 extraordinary people in more than 150 countries, working across four key business areas - Assurance, Consulting, Strategy and Transactions, and Tax - we’re well-equipped to drive long-term value for our clients.
 
Environment:
 
We make sure that businesses are protected from risks that can affect their reputation and performance. As external auditors, we provide confidence that businesses and governments publish true and fair financial information others can rely on - helping to build a better working world.
 
From implementing digital approaches into our global audit methodology to processing millions of transactions into visual analytics solutions, innovation and technology will be embedded into your audit clients from day one.
 
EY is using innovative technology such as Robotic Process Automation and Process Mining to review our clients’ population data. You will receive structured training to upskill in digital technology such as data visualisation or design thinking and bring that into your audit work.


As a motivated and passionate member of our team, you’ll play a big part in our impactful work, no matter which business area you join. You’ll help communities to thrive, while you thrive in a place where you belong. You’ll have the opportunity to make your career your own, building opportunities for yourself. You’ll have a chance to define and activate our purpose, delivering on our promises to help clients drive long-lasting strategies.
 
  • Hybrid working (working from office, working from home, working on client site)
  • Flexible working hours
  • Dedicated study time and support
  • Friendly and supporting staff - buddies and career counsellors from day one.
 
What might a day in this role look like?
 
Starting out in assurance requires dedication, hard work and long hours, but the knowledge and experience you’ll gain will set you on a fulfilling career path. The role will include:
 
  • Getting to know our clients, their businesses and how they work
  • Testing checks and balances to ensure they work how they’re supposed to
  • Analysing the data that goes into a financial statement to make sure it is true and fair
  • You’ll spend substantial periods of time with clients
  • You will be expected to work longer hours during peak times in client delivery work – this is especially the case during busy season when you will need to work over weekends too.
 
What will I learn?
 
First up, an induction will verse you in all things EY and before you know it, you’ll be working in a team on audits for clients (with lots of help, of course!). Along the way, you'll be studying and doing exams so you’ll progress even faster professionally than your university-going friends.
 
Throughout you’ll be part of the EY community and you’ll have a buddy to help guide you. They’ll be your first point of call for practical help and guidance. We also provide coaching so you always have access to impartial advice, opportunities and ongoing advice.
 
By the time you complete the programme, you'll not only have a professional qualification with the Institute of Chartered Accounts of Scotland (ICAS) but lots of practical experience and a network of mentors to help you keep on developing. The experience you gain will vary depending on your location as different offices offer different opportunities depending upon their clients.
 
What qualifications/skills are required?
 
We operate an open access policy, meaning we don’t screen out applications on your academic performance alone. You will, however, need a minimum of grade C National 5 (or equivalent) in English and Maths, and to have completed 5 Highers (or equivalent) by the time the programme starts. We welcome applications from all academic backgrounds and are looking for individuals who will succeed at EY in the desired role and future qualifications, therefore throughout our recruitment process your academic performance will be considered against your online assessment scores to determine your suitability for an EY role.
