Waterford is among the counties that will benefit from EY Ireland's announcement of 900 new job positions.
550 of the positions will be for experienced hires while 350 will be filled by new university graduates.
The intention is to fill these 550 experienced roles as soon as possible. The majority of the 350 university graduates who were offered roles in EY for this financial year are now in the process of being onboarded with the remainder due to take up their new roles over the coming months.
EY announced that these positions will grow the total head count to 5,100. Its headcount currently stands at 4,208.
“Our plan to increase our current headcount on the island of Ireland from 4,200 to 5,100 people is hugely exciting for us. Strong client demand for our services gives us confidence to continue with our ambitious growth plans," Ronan Clinton, Partner at EY Waterford said.
EY will be actively recruiting candidates to fill a wide variety of roles across its core areas of tax, audit, corporate finance and consulting as well as in new growth areas including technology consulting, digital and emerging technology, data analytics, cyber security, sustainability, law, strategy and transformation.
The firm is also recruiting heavily across other growth areas such as workforce and organisation design and planning, change management, transaction diligence, and valuations, modelling and economics.
EY has also reported that their revenues to the end of June 2022 were up 26% to €536 million, the highest they have ever been.
The company reported strong performances across all four of their service lines in their offices in Waterford, Dublin, Belfast, Cork, Galway, and Limerick.
Service lines include Assurance, Consulting, Tax and Law, and Strategy and Transactions.
"Our future plans to deliver even greater choice for our clients and the most exciting career opportunities possible for our people, are huge drivers for us as we chart our future path,” Frank O’Keeffe, Managing Partner at EY Ireland said.
