How will your ideas make the world work better?
Helping
clients grow
Can it work better? It’s a good question
and it’s one we ask a lot. It helps us
provide timely, transparent and quality
information. All things that help the
world’s capital markets function better.
By helping clients to improve and grow,
they achieve higher living standards,
creating more opportunities for local
economies. And you know what that
means? Exactly — a better working world.
A better
working
world one
day at
a time
Think it sounds like a big goal? Maybe, but we think it’s achievable. Here’s the plan:
Better questions,
better answers
We believe it’s usually the simple
questions that unlock the most
complicated problems. They can start
a ripple effect that spreads out across
the entire world. That’s why better
questions are behind everything we
deliver. It’s how we help clients operate
more efficiently, with less risk and
more growth.
When you work for EY you
realise something — it’s
what we do together every
day that makes the world
work better.
So back in July 2013, with
the help of our people, we
embarked on Vision 2020:
our strategy to become a
US$50 billion distinctive
professional services
organisation by 2020.
Exceptional client service
Strengthen global, empower local
Client service sets us apart in the market,
and no matter where in the world you are,
it’s something we’ll be looking for all of
our people to deliver.
You’ll have access to a global network
and join a team empowered to build
relationships and get things done on the
ground. We connect with each other like
no other Big 4 organisation − cross border
and cross services.
Highest-performing teams
It’s how we help build careers — including
yours. We draw on a diverse team
for every project to find the best
opportunities and innovations for our
clients to grow today and tomorrow.

You’ll have the opportunity to qualify for

has made me even more excited
to start with EY. I’ve already
had some great experiences —
I cannot wait for many more
when I start with EY.”
