EY has announced that it posted UK fee income of £3.78bn for the year ended 27 June 2025, achieving 2% revenue growth in what it called a “challenging market”.
As a result, it posted a distributable profit before tax of £679m, up from £653m in the previous year. Moreover the average distributable profit per partner increased 9% from £723,000 to £787,000.
It delivered revenue growth of 10% for its strategy and transactions business, 5% for tax and 3% for assurance. However its consulting revenues decreased 6% reflecting “more difficult trading conditions”.
Financial services and consumer and health were EY’s top performing industry sectors and grew 5% and 9% respectively.
As part of the firm’s investment in new technologies, EY launched the EY.ai Agentic Platform in March 2025 in collaboration with NVIDIA, providing custom frameworks for designing and deploying responsible agentic AI solutions for EY teams and clients.
EY also rolled out Microsoft 365 Copilot across its UK business, with over 12,000 people now using the tool in the UK.
EY currently audits 22 of the FTSE 100 and 76 of the FTSE 350, as well as a large number of private businesses and public sector bodies. Recent audit wins include Revolut, LG, Aberdeen and the University of Cambridge.
Anna Anthony, EY UK and Ireland regional managing partner, said: “We are proud to have delivered both revenue and income growth over the last 12 months. We have continued to invest in the skills and capabilities needed to support our future growth and deliver high quality innovative services for our clients, whilst also responding to areas of changing demand. Over the last financial year, we’ve hired nearly 2,400 people and admitted 59 new Equity Partners.
“While the economic environment remains unpredictable and challenging, we have a clear strategy to drive our business forward and better support our clients. I’m proud of the positive impact we’re continuing to make in a sector that will play a key role in supporting the UK’s future growth ambitions.”
