How do you decide if UK&I or FSO is a better fit for you?

At EY, UKI (United Kingdom and Ireland) focuses on providing services to clients within those regions, covering various industries and sectors. In contrast, FSO (Financial Services Organization) specializes in serving clients in the financial services sector, including banking, insurance, and asset management.

When deciding between the two, consider your interests and career goals. If you're passionate about a broad range of industries, UKI might be the right fit. However, if you're specifically interested in finance and related services, FSO would be more suitable.

Thank you, do you still earn the same qualification under both?

yes thats correct

thats good! thank you

Hiya, thanks for your question - I work in UK&I in the Southampton office, where we work with a wide variety of clients operating in different sectors. For example, I have clients which work in fields such as aerospace, facilities management, advanced manufacturing, luxury yacht building and currency printing.

Your answer may also depend on the office you apply to, as not all offices accommodate both types of clients.

Hi - I'm in FSO in the Manchester office. As Shaheen has said, our focus is on banks, insurance providers, etc. In FSO, you tend to stick to one team/client, following the engagement through all it's phases. If you chose FSO, you will be placed in either banking, insurance or wealth and asset management.
