EY CFO Jamie Miller Quits After Six Months Of Appointment: Reports
“I joined EY in order to aid the company in pursuing a transaction, but now that it has been completed, I have departed to pursue other options. I am honoured to have been a part of the journey of EY, a remarkable company with wise executives,” she said in a statement
Jamie Miller, the chief financial officer of the accounting firm EY, stepped down in June, six months after being appointed, according to media reports. The reports suggested that resignation, which was unexpected, came after a proposal to spin off EY’s consultancy business failed.
“I joined EY in order to aid the company in pursuing a transaction, but now that it has been completed, I have departed to pursue other options. I am honoured to have been a part of the journey of EY, a remarkable company with wise executives,” she said in a statement.
The company put the brakes on a proposed restructuring of its companies in April, abandoning a proposal to split up its audit and consultancy units in order to allay regulatory worries about potential conflicts of interest. If the idea had been accepted, Miller would have taken over as CFO of the spun-off consultancy company, the Reuters reported.
She spent nearly 12 years working for General Electric (GE.N), and in 2021 she became the CFO of grain trader Cargill before joining the accountancy firm in January.
