About the employer

EY, formerly Ernst & Young, is one of the world’s largest professional-services organizations and a member of the global Big Four. It provides assurance, tax, consulting and strategy and transactions services to businesses, governments and other institutions. EY works with clients across financial services, technology, consumer products, energy, healthcare and the public sector. Its consulting and technology teams support organizations with cloud adoption, data and analytics, cybersecurity, enterprise platforms, operating-model change and digital transformation. EY Cyprus operates mainly from Nicosia and Limassol and serves both local and international clients. The firm offers professionals opportunities to work on multidisciplinary projects, gain industry certifications and collaborate with teams across its international network. As with other large consulting firms, workloads and travel requirements can vary according to client engagements and project deadlines.

Working in Cyprus

Cyprus offers opportunities in financial services, technology, consulting, shipping, tourism, renewable energy and shared-service operations. Nicosia is the main center for government, banking and professional services, while Limassol has a strong international business, technology and maritime community. English is widely used in business, although Greek is the official language and useful for daily life. The island combines a Mediterranean climate, beaches, outdoor activities and a relaxed social culture with relatively modern urban amenities. Salaries are generally lower than in major Western European technology hubs, but the lifestyle and climate are attractive. EU, EEA and Swiss citizens can work with relatively simple registration requirements. Non-EU nationals normally need an employer-sponsored work and residence permit, and eligibility depends on the role and salary. Prospective movers should check current immigration rules, housing costs, taxation, healthcare access and transport options before relocating.
