Just out of curiosity do Deloitte, KPMG & PwC have a CBS equivalent? Basically a group for all the non-Client Service employees. Lower raises and bonuses, less chance for promotion but supposedly people in this group work less hours and have “job security “..(which is mostly BS at EY as I’m now in CBS and often work 60-70 hours per week).

I don’t know what CBS stands for but yes. PwC has IFS (internal firm services) which July 1 will be called Business Services I think

likefunnyhelpful

At KPMG it’s called Business Process Group (BPG). Everything from HR, internal accounting, marketing, risk management, etc etc etc.

No, the other firms just use client service teams to do A/P and A/R. Generally have to do a 6 month rotation before getting promoted to director. You also have to audit expense reports, which should be pretty easy going forward.

It’s a great opportunity if you want to go to industry at some point.

Less focus on utilization/revenue generation, yes. Lower salary/bonus, definitely. Less overtime, no. I have exceeded client facing OT every year.

Why do you stay then?

Deloitte has enabling areas (finance, talent, cos, marketing, etc)- basically all back office support. Salaries are lower, overtime is generally less or at least consistent. Promotion path is different and terminates at MD
