Big Four audit firm EY’s financial services business expects to grow by an additional 3,000 new jobs over the next three years in its Europe, Middle East, India and Africa region, the department’s new head said.

“[The new roles] are all in areas where we see a lot of market disruption, a lot of where clients are being asked big questions about their future,” Omar Ali, the new head of the 14,000-strong EMEIA financial services business, told Financial News. Of the 3,000 new jobs, around 150 of them will be partner-level roles.
