Senior Consultant / Manager Turnaround and Restructuring Strategy (Audit background)
Our TRS team is fully integrated both within our wider Strategy and Transactions practice and our firm as a whole, and our clients reap the benefits of this broad range of knowledge, skills and experience. We work on the basis of creating long-term relationships with our clients and our teams work closely with them to understand their short and long-term goals - being there at every stage to identify problems and recommend and implement solutions that deliver measurable results. The EY Turnaround and Restructuring Strategy (TRS) team is a cohesive team and advises both medium-sized and large companies and their stakeholders (e.g. shareholders, financiers or suppliers) on special situations. Our issues are at the interface of strategy, operations and finance. We guarantee a diverse job in a dynamic transaction-driven practice with many young ambitious colleagues. A "typical day" for a Senior Consultant/Manager within the EY Turnaround and Restructuring Strategy does not exist. What we can say is that your experience will be dynamic, engaging and fun.


The opportunity - What future are you building towards?
With your audit background, you will be part of the TRS team with a special focus on supporting the EY audit practice on the going concern assessment of EY audit clients, as part of their annual report audit.


In addition, you will have the opportunity to develop your skill set in advising both medium-sized and large companies and their stakeholders (e.g. shareholders, financiers or suppliers) in special situations, such as liquidity and profitability problems, restructuring, strategy and complex financing issues. You mostly do this by working with your team on location at the company, which means you also get to experience the dynamics of the company and the sector up close. In addition, you will frequently collaborate with other Sa T disciplines in the areas of valuations, business modelling, sales guidance, real estate, strategy and operations. We are looking for colleagues to join us in Amsterdam as their home office.

Due to laws and regulations, and because EY (and in some cases its clients) has high demands on the reliability and integrity of its employees, every new employee will be screened. Depending on your rank the pre-employment screening could contain the following: Certificate of Conduct (in Dutch: VOG) or - if requesting a Dutch VOG is not possible - Criminal Background Check of the country you are currently living or have lived during the last five years, integrity questionnaire, verification of ID, diploma’s and/or work experience and consultation of the Dutch insolvency registry.
