Ernst & Young Reviews & Product Details

One of our company's goals was to have our processes completed more quickly. The other consultants that we had used prior to going with E&Y were never able to finish anything on time. This has been remedied since we switched to E&Y. The staff that we work with is always friendly and polite and very knowledgeable.

The consultants that they assign to us have changed a number of times, which has led to lost time for us.

I would just be very clear with them about what your expectations are (not only in terms of your goals but also in terms of how you want them to work with you to achieve those goals).

Aside from the issues that I already described, we have had a pretty good experience in that they are very thorough and make good recommendations. They also complete their work in a very timely manner, which has helped us with our efficiency.

The promise/claim they can solve all of your companies problems. They have the money to woo all the best VP's and C-levels.

Sadly, they did not follow through with said promises to our company.

they talk a good game, but failed to deliver (at least for us). We may be a unique experience, so your mileage may vary, but we will never use them as a 3rd party consulting company again.

International Trade Compliance. We were looking to open the Asia-Pacific market and needed consultants to ease use through the process.

Consulting and advisory services

Ernst and Young were very professional and helpful.

The downsides of Ernst and Young - the price

They’re consulting services helped us streamline some things in our company.

Ernst & Young has helped our organization out with ultra-complex income tax and value added tax issues in multiple countries and always meets or exceeds expectations.

Ernst & Young is the most reasonable of the Big 4 firms and has always met my expectations.

My biggest dislike is the same negative I have of all the Big 4 - E&Y is expensive, but the most reasonably priced.

Get in touch with a local Partner you feel comfortable with. Don't feel bad about asking to meet with someone different if needed.

The senior partners I've interacted with are very experienced and super-knowledgeable. Clearly experts in the relevant space -- esp as it relates to corporate valuation, international tax, etc.

Expect to pay commensurate with their status as a top accounting firm

Definitely recommend getting 'sponsorship' from their top partners which ensures that the work will be top-notch. They're willing to 'work with' small companies that have promise and do have a customer acceptance process they need to go through first
