EY (Ernst & Young) - statistics & facts

Ernst & Young (EY) is a global professional services company and one of the Big Four accounting and auditing firms. The "Big Four" firms also include Deloitte, PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC), and KPMG. EY is the third largest of these firms in terms of global revenue, behind Deloitte, and PwC. The combined revenue of the "Big Four" reached almost 190 billion U.S. dollars in 2022 and has been growing exponentially since 2009.

Ever-increasing revenue streams

When broken down by service line, EY serves four different categories. These are assurance, tax, advisory, and strategy and transactions. Assurance has consistently generated the highest annual revenue for the company, followed by tax and advisory services, with transaction advisory services grossing the lowest revenue. Over the last decade, advisory services have seen the greatest increase in turnover, up by roughly 10 billion U.S. dollars when compared to 2009. The combined revenue of EY has increased year-on-year since 2010, and reached a record of approximately 45.4 billion U.S. dollars in 2022.

A global powerhouse

EY currently operates in over 150 countries around the world. In business statements from the firm they have broken these down by region, the Americas; Europe, Middle East, India and Africa (EMEIA); and the Asia-Pacific region. EY has consistently generated the most revenue in the EMEIA region, followed by the Americas. The combined revenue from the Asia-Pacific region and Japan represented less than 15 percent of the total revenue grossed worldwide. The region with the highest number of company employees was the EMEIA region in 2022, again followed by the Americas. EY had the second highest number of employees out of the "Big Four" firms in the same year.
