Saw some people from EY TAS change their titles to Strategy and Transactions on LinkedIn. Is this just a fancy name change the group did or are EY TAS folks now doing strategy work in addition to the typical FDD work ?

OH HOW THE TURN TABLES

Just a fancy name change. To "better align ourselves in the market and deliver the power of the firm to our clients" as my partner put it.

funnylike

Yeah diligence folks are still diligence folks, that for sure isn’t changing

Basically anything with "transaction" in the name is FDD nameswap. The strategy peeps would be in the consulting firms bought by the big4 instead of within the advisory arm of the firms.

like

KPMG doesn't have a separate arm similar to Strategy& or Parthenon. It's just Strategy as part of Deal Advisory & Strategy.

They typically hire MBA folks and transferring from other parts of the firm is usually extremely difficult. Supposedly they are trying to grow it primarily organically after seeing the issues PwC has had integrating Booz & Co. (see how many partners left after the acquisition).
