Reviews
I am an audit graduate and am slowly learning how to perform an audit from start to finish. This has involved me working on increasingly complicated accounts and assisting my seniors and managers in this process. Day-to-day I am typically responsible for sampling, discussing problems with client, and helping clean-up/present workbooks for seniors/managers to review.
My day-to-day responsibilities include updating seniors on my work, completing my assigned tasks, communicating with the client and building relationships
As a graduate consultant in the risk team, my day-to-day responsibilities vary based on the engagement/project I am working on. Risk projects tend to have three key phases: Planning, Fieldwork, and Reporting. The planning stage often involves tasks such as requesting information from clients, confirming the issue you are solving for them, and completing administrative work. Fieldwork is where I will deal with client communication, analyzing documents, figuring out risks/findings, and attempting to figure out where the client is going right or wrong. Once this is all completed, I will assist the team with writing the final report and sending it to the client for review. EY also provides a lot of learning opportunities when you aren't as busy with work. This involves internal modules, courses, and qualifications you can obtain.

Pros and cons of working at EY Australia
Pros
The flexibility with my work schedule. I can work from home, or leave for appointments during the day if I need and make up the time some other days etc.
The people, learning and opportunities.
The opportunities available and having different aspects that are important to the company e.g. soccer tournament, ripples etc. Learning experience has been amazing and have had lots of hands-on help from upper management.
The work culture within EY's consulting practice has been incredibly welcoming in the early stages of my career. Off the bat, I've been given the opportunity to have a buddy (similar rank level) and counsellor (manager +) who have guided me in getting adapted to the team and ensuring I am exposed to different types of work.
Due to the size and complexity of the work we do at EY, an employee is able to expose themselves to a range of interesting working opportunities, as long as they are willing to extend themselves.
Cons
Salary is not the best.
The model of being coached by those that are only 1 or 2 years your senior... they might be a good worker, but that doesn't always make them a good teacher.
The salary at early stages.
End of Financial Year workload - unavoidable though and not the end of the world.
There are times where you may feel overwhelmed with what your key tasks/expectations are. This is something that gets better over time and is likely not specifically an EY issue - more something that is dealt with in other professional services companies as well.
