The Opportunity
This Associate Director role within EY's Global FP&A; Account Support team sits at the intersection of technical accounting and commercial finance, ensuring consistent, compliant, and future-forward revenue recognition across complex client engagements, strategic accounts, and broader portfolios.
The role has a direct line of sight to account performance and P&L; outcomes, ensuring that revenue decisions not only meet accounting standards but also support commercial objectives and sustainable growth.
Acting as a bridge between global accounting policy and execution, you will develop and own frameworks that support engagement and account teams with revenue recognition for complex, multi-country and Managed Services engagements, translating IFRS and EY policies into practical guidance, scalable processes, optimized deal structuring and Mercury/SAP structures.
