EY helps clients create long-term value for all stakeholders. Enabled by data and technology, our services and solutions provide trust through assurance and help clients transform, grow and operate.
At EY, our purpose is building a better working world. The insights and services we provide help to create long-term value for clients, people and society, and to build trust in the capital markets.
At EY, we recognise you for your consistently high performance and hard work. For meeting deadlines and challenges, you deserve to be rewarded for your contribution to EY's success. You'll have access to a great range of benefits.
You'll have the opportunity to purchase up to eight weeks extra leave. This provides you with more time for study, family or other personal pursuits.
We provide 26 weeks of paid parental leave, which can be taken flexibly by either parent during the 24 months after the child(ren)’s birth. There is no required service period to access the leave. This applies to stillborn birth, adoption, and surrogacy and can be taken as block leave or on a part-time basis. All family leave entitlements are inclusive of LGBTQ people, regardless of the gender of the Staff Member or their partner. This is on top of the Government’s paid parental leave provisions.
We provide five days of paid leave for early pregnancy loss and fertility treatment. Along with leave for grandparents to take around the time of birth of adoption of a grandchild with further access to unpaid leave for up to 12 months.
Whilst preparing for, undertaking and returning from extended leave, EY people are also supported by a digital parental leave platform which provides guidance and support throughout this transition.
We aim to promote a flexible work culture by assisting our people to balance their work and personal responsibilities through the availability of flexible working arrangements.

Dress for Your Day
We’ve introduced Dress for Your Day, a dress code that further binds our unique culture of flexibility, authenticity, and creativity. It means our people can dress in a way that is appropriate for their work day. Those with no external client meetings can choose smart casual dress, while meeting with external clients may opt for more formal attire.
Financial
We'll help you meet the cost of approved external studies, which may include providing you with financial assistance to cover all or part of your course fees and the cost of your study materials. We may also offer you study and exam leave.
We'll cover joining and annual membership fees for one professional body each year. This includes the Institute of Chartered Accountants or an equivalent body for qualified professionals.
Our workplace giving program offers a simple and cost-effective way for people to give donations through their pay to charities of their choice. This donation is matched up to a certain amount per person.
Recruiting the best people is critical to our success, and people like you are often the best source of the best candidates. The Global Employee Referral Program provides you with a cash reward if you successfully refer a candidate. The cash reward is received after the candidate commences work in the organisation.
Working interstate, working overseas
We offer domestic and global mobility opportunities. That means you could find yourself working in other EY offices within New Zealand – or in one of our offices overseas. You can apply for an overseas secondment once you've had a few years experience with us.
