The associates are a mix of graduates and A-level students.
They will shortly begin studying towards either the Association of Chartered Certified Accountants (ACCA) or the Institute of Chartered Accountants of Scotland (ICAS) professional qualification.
Andrew Dann, EY’s Channel Islands Managing Partner, commented that the firm were “delighted” to welcome the new team.
“We pride ourselves on our leading people culture and providing all our people with the foundations to progress. Upon completing their qualifications they will have a number of opportunities to further their careers with EY in the Channel Islands or one of our global offices,” he said.
