Working in assurance for your initial three years is quite numerical as the majority of your time is spent working on the audit of account balances. In addition, you will undertake your accountancy exams and these require numerical knowledge. Having said that, if you come from a non-numerical background for example a history degree this is not an issue and should not disadvantage you.

Assurance is one of the four service lines offered at EY. Audit is one of the assurance services offered by EY. We provide the following assurance services:

Accounting Compliance and Reporting
Climate Change and Sustainability Services
Financial Accounting Advisory Services
Financial Statement Audit
Fraud Investigation & Dispute Services
EU Audit Reform
