The opportunity
These days, the CFOs of financial services firms face an increasingly complex and rapid change of their financial and regulatory environment. Driven by digital transformation, accounting and regulatory changes and the upcoming trends in sustainability, the agenda of the CFO consist of a wide variety of topics. Moreover, working together with the business, risk management and quantitative departments (e.g. actuaries, capital management, assets & liabilities management) is key to succeed. There is a large opportunity at Finance departments to enhance capabilities to generate predictive insights and serve as a strategic business advisor. Given the dynamic market conditions reshaping the industry landscape, a few leaders have undertaken finance transformation programs toward a forward- and outward-looking perspective. The goal is to enhance overall financial management and improve business outcomes, broader than just increase efficiency in control and reporting.

EY | Building a better working world

EY exists to build a better working world, helping to create long-term value for clients, people and society and build trust in the capital markets.

Enabled by data and technology, diverse EY teams in over 150 countries provide trust through assurance and help clients grow, transform and operate.

Working across assurance, consulting, law, strategy, tax and transactions, EY teams ask better questions to find new answers for the complex issues facing our world today.

An (online) assessment and a pre employment screening are part of the application procedure.

Due to laws and regulations, and because EY (and in some cases its clients) has high demands on the reliability and integrity of its employees, every new employee will be screened. Depending on your rank the pre employment screening could contain the following : Certificate of conduct (in Dutch VOG) or - if requesting a VOG is not possible - criminal background check of the country you are currently living during the last five years, integrity questionnaire, verification of ID, diploma's and/or work experience and consultation of the Dutch insolvency registry.
