On November 24, EY welcomed us for “Finance Unplugged – Audit & FAAS Experience”, an authentic immersion into how decisions, analysis, and teamwork come together within one of the most dynamic environments in the consulting world.
The event was co-organized by Starting Finance Club Cattolica together with Finanz Cattolica.
It was an immersive journey through Audit and Financial Accounting and Advisory Services (FAAS), guided by exceptional professionals:
– Micaela Zanzi, Senior Manager, Audit FS
– Claudia Minardi, Senior Manager, FAAS FS
– Andrea Ascè, Senior Manager, FAAS FS
– Jessica Fossati, Talent Attraction & Acquisition
The heart of the day was the immersive business case, where participants stepped into the shoes of real consultants.
Working in teams, they analyzed data, applied critical thinking, and tackled challenges typical of Audit and FAAS. This hands-on exercise transformed concepts into practice, offering a concrete understanding of how value is created for clients and how structured teamwork drives decision-making in professional services.
The event concluded with a final moment of reflection, rich in questions, insights, and takeaways, strengthening the connection between academic preparation and the realities of a consulting career.
A sincere thank you to all the speakers and to the entire EY team for the warm welcome, the guidance, and the dedication shown throughout the day. We left with new knowledge, stronger awareness, and the motivation to keep striving for excellence.
