The opportunity

At EY Consulting, we are building a better working world by transforming businesses through the power of people, technology, and innovation. Our clients are at the heart of what we do. We’re focused on solving the key issues of our client buyers, building deeper relationships, and generating lasting value with significant impact.

Our firm sets the standard for consulting services, fostering an environment that encourages career ownership at every stage. As a part of our team, you'll be at the forefront of this dynamic service line, driving change and delivering solutions that revolutionize business operations. You’ll help our clients in transformation and innovation efforts: driving growth, reducing costs, and managing risks proactively.

As an Associate Analyst, you'll be based in one of our Service Delivery Centers. The centralized workforce is made up of high-performing US-based employees who work closely with client serving professionals to deliver project-based support work to our clients. Our Service Delivery Center provides a broad range of integrated services to three main industries: commercial, financial institutions and government clients.

Your key responsibilities

You’ll have a real impact from your first day, applying actuarial and/or analytical skills to diverse employee benefits financial modeling, related to operational/vendor evaluation and compliance matters. You’ll spend your time working with core audit teams by helping them review company disclosures for defined benefit pension plans and assessing if they comply with accounting standards. You’ll also collect and analyze data, program calculations, monitor project timelines and document your findings.

You will process, compare and summarize census data and help to prepare complex actuarial valuations and related financial disclosures. You will review annual tax and financial disclosures in connection with required annual audits. You will assess financial and compliance risks in retirement and benefit plans. You will also prepare individual benefit calculations for pension programs. You may prepare annual employee benefit plan filings in accordance with the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) or Department of Labor (DOL) regulations.

As part of that, you’ll need to be a critical thinker who can take on complex projects and communicate technical knowledge simply and effectively to clients and team members.
