EY UK has unveiled fee income of £3.86bn for the financial year ending 3 July 2026, after achieving a 2% revenue growth in what it is calling a ‘challenging market’.
Distributable profits before tax were up to £702m and the average pay of EY employees increased by 5.2%. The average distributable profit per partner increased by double that (10.5%) from £787,000 to £870,000.
The firm’s total UK tax contribution for FY26 was more than £1.3bn.
Anna Anthony, EY UK & Ireland Regional Managing Partner said: “These are a solid set of results in a challenging market. We’ve continued to grow the business, while making significant investments in talent and technology to support our future growth and deliver high quality and innovative services to our clients.
“In FY26 alone, we hired 2,300 people across all parts of the UK, made over 3,700 internal promotions and progressions and announced a significant evolution of our global Alliance with Microsoft.
