About the employer

Its clients include multinational corporations, growing businesses, governments, and private organizations. EY Global Delivery Services operates specialized teams in locations such as the Philippines to support international engagements through tax processing, finance, technology, analytics, research, and business operations. The Philippine practice, with major offices including Taguig and Manila, offers exposure to global clients and structured professional development.

Working in Philippines

The Philippines offers strong opportunities in business-process services, IT, accounting, payroll, customer operations, finance, healthcare, tourism, and shared-service centers, especially in Metro Manila, Cebu, and Davao. Filipino culture is generally welcoming, family-oriented, collaborative, and English-friendly. Urban life provides extensive restaurants, shopping, entertainment, and professional networking, while the country’s islands offer beaches, diving, mountains, and a relaxed provincial lifestyle. Costs are usually lower than in many Western countries, although housing and commuting in Manila can be expensive. Foreign employees normally need an employer-sponsored work visa or permit; requirements depend on nationality, contract, and role, so professional immigration advice is recommended. Relocating workers should arrange employment documentation, health insurance, accommodation, banking access, and a local tax identification process. Public transport is affordable but crowded, and traffic can be significant. Weather is tropical, with a dry season and a rainy or typhoon season.
