EY global revenue reached $57 billion this year

If you wonder where the world of business is heading, look at the giant accounting firm EY. They just reported $57 billion in global revenue for the year ending June 2026. That is a 4.7 percent jump over last year. Every region and every service line they offer grew. The biggest surprise is how fast they are pivoting to artificial intelligence. Sales from AI services alone exploded by 49 percent. EY, one of the Big Four accounting firms, is betting everything on the idea that AI is no longer just an experiment. They spent $448 million on training their staff this year. Over 200,000 of their people are now using Microsoft Copilot to do their daily work. Janet Truncale, the global chair and CEO, says clients are now redesigning how their entire businesses operate. This means your own accountant or consultant is likely using these same automated tools to handle your books. When you pay for professional services, you are paying for that mix of human judgment and machine speed. They also claim to have cut their own greenhouse gas emissions by 40 percent since 2019. It is a massive machine that is moving faster than ever. If you are still doing your books with a pen and paper, you might want to ask your CPA what they are doing to keep up. It seems the robots are officially part of the accounting team now.
