Join EY and help to build a better working world.

Whether supporting small private companies or large publicly traded organizations, our clients rely on us for accurate financial information, strong reporting processes, and robust accounting support as they navigate complex transactions. We are helping organizations align with parent‑company accounting standards, prepare opening balance sheets, and perform preliminary purchase price accounting.

We collaborate closely with other transaction teams performing due diligence, M&A, valuation and tax services throughout the transaction lifecycle, and support post‑closing process improvements to accelerate financial statement close timelines. Our work also includes supporting key finance cycles during integration and stabilization and preparing clients for future transactions or capital‑markets activities, including IPO readiness in Canada and the United States.

The FAAS Transaction Reporting & Capital Markets group recognizes your skills and the value you bring, offering competitive compensation packages that reflect your experience and ambition. As part of a Big Four firm, you will gain access to large‑scale clients, diverse and complex mandates, and a network of global specialists who support your technical growth and career progression. Performance is strongly valued: your contributions and impact are recognized and rewarded, enabling faster and well‑deserved advancement. FAAS provides the opportunity to work on high-impact projects, collaborate with talented professionals across Canada, and advise leading clients on strategic financial transactions.
