Ernst & Young is a global leader in assurance, tax, transaction and advisory services. Worldwide, our 144,000 people are united by our shared values and an unwavering commitment to quality. We make a difference by helping our people, our clients and our wider communities achieve their potential.

Ernst & Young made a ground breaking integration of 87 country practices in Western and Eastern Europe, the Middle East, India and Africa into a new EMEIA Area, in July 2008. We are already seeing the benefits locally.

Many of our Midlands clients are looking to expand their activities in emerging markets. We believe that through our EMEIA integration we are uniquely placed to serve them. We are winning new and high-profile work on the back of our joined-up and global approach, which allows us to assemble the right team for the job at short notice anywhere in the world.

Across the Midlands, the firm also has one of the most active corporate responsibility programmes of all the professional services firms. As well as its hugely successful school partnership programme with Hamstead Hall Community Learning Centre in Handsworth Wood and North Birmingham Academy in Erdington, where employees are involved with workshops, mentoring and coaching, the firm provides all its people with 2 days out of their working year to dedicate to charitable initiatives.
