EY-Parthenon is the transformative strategy and transactions arm of EY's global organization. With more than 25,000 professionals in 150 countries, EY-Parthenon adopts an investor mindset to focus on delivering real-world value – solutions that work in practice, not just on paper – with deep functional talent and sector capabilities, as well as proprietary AI-powered technology.

EY-Parthenon offers a broad range of market-leading solutions across strategy, transactions and corporate finance and benefits from EY's full-spectrum of services to advise top management (C-Suite) on strategic issues across a range of industries including Private Equity, Consumer Products, Government, Financial Services, Healthcare, Information & Media, Advanced Manufacturing, Life Sciences, Oil & Gas and Technology. The firm competes with strategy consultancies such as McKinsey, Bain and BCG as well as the strategy consulting arms of the other Big Four firms such as Monitor Deloitte and Strategy&. Consistently placing near the top of strategy consulting rankings, EY-Parthenon has a significant focus on private equity, corporate strategy, and mergers & acquisitions.

The Parthenon Group LLC was formed in 1991 by former Bain & Company directors William "Bill" Achtmeyer and John C. Rutherford. In 2014 The Parthenon Group merged with professional services firm EY forming the new entity EY-Parthenon. The move was viewed as part of the continued efforts by the Big Four to move up the value chain from their traditional audit services into more lucrative areas of business, as well as to provide new points of entry to clients.
