The Financial Diligence team at EY Parthenon provides a unique combination of transformative strategy, transactions, tax and corporate finance. This role focuses on high‑profile IPOs and transactions, delivering real‑world value to CEOs, boards, private equity firms and governments.

You will work alongside experienced due diligence professionals and develop your skills in a range of situations and sectors. There is an opportunity for travel within the UK and potentially internationally, and you will almost always be part of a wider cross‑service line team.
