The ITTS team at EY is unique in having all transaction specialists in one place. The team includes Corporate and Private Equity deal specialists, in addition to Restructuring and Fund/Management structuring specialists. This provides the team with a natural hedge against market turbulence with focus shifting between areas as the economic cycle develops, which also creates a greater degree of job security.

In this dynamic and fast-moving environment, individuals apply their skills to a variety of transactions. With a truly entrepreneurial spirit, there is the flexibility to shape your career in particular sectors or areas of the M&A landscape or to get experience across the spectrum.

The Private Client Transaction Tax team deals with private equity clients as well as specifically focusing on the areas of the M&A market that are developing the quickest. Our flexibility and speed to market means that we have grown each year throughout the downturn – in order to take advantage of the current opportunities in the market we need to continue to recruit the best talent.
