Intercompany Effectiveness (ICE) is a service offering that focuses on the effective and efficient execution of pricing of intercompany transactions across the intercompany life cycle (i.e., price setting, transacting, monitoring/adjusting and documenting). The ICE offering is identified as one of our growth areas within our Transfer Pricing sub-service line. With increased demand across all regions, we have an immediate need to grow our team.

EY’s ICE team uses a scalable and standard method to assess a company’s current challenges, design and build processes, and policies, enabling technology and operating models to improve the intercompany transactions that are used in other business processes. These business processes include statutory reporting, tax provision and compliance. The ICE service offering focuses on all elements of an operating model for intercompany transactions (e.g., processes, controls, organizational design, data and technology).

The opportunity

We are seeking someone interested in joining the ICE team with an interest in cross-teaming with our clients across all business stakeholder teams (e.g., Operations, Finance and Tax Leadership) to help enable companies to record their intercompany transactions efficiently, effectively, and in compliance with regulatory and local tax laws. EY works with global companies that are improving their operating models around intercompany transactions in a variety of locations around the world. This role requires travel at least 60% of the time. The candidate must be willing to travel within the US and, on occasion, globally.
