Big Four accounting firm EY said on Nov. 11 that it has acquired Jubilant, an Ann Arbor, MI-based HR technology consultancy focused on implementing and supporting human capital management, payroll, and workforce management systems.
Financial terms of the deal weren’t disclosed.
With more than 50 professionals focused on HR technology services, Jubilant has differentiated itself in the market by designing and building accelerators that automate testing for payroll and workforce management, and by delivering advanced tools for data movement, analysis, and validation, according to EY US.
The acquisition will build on Jubilant’s market reputation and enhance EY US’s HR technology delivery capabilities, the accounting firm said. EY US currently delivers a wide range of client services for a number of HR technology providers, including ADP, Dayforce, Microsoft, SAP SuccessFactors, ServiceNow, and UKG.
“By welcoming Jubilant, EY US gains even more credibility and capabilities within the HR technology and transformation business of our People Consulting practice,” Whitt Butler, EY Americas vice chair of consulting, said in a statement. “HR systems implementation and optimization is increasingly on the agenda of our clients, and the combined power of Jubilant’s skills and accelerators, along with our multifaceted global organization, can deliver results at scale.”
Jubilant CEO Tim Force added, “I’m proud of all that we have achieved at Jubilant, including our differentiating intellectual property, and I’m excited we now have the opportunity to deliver even more value for clients thanks to the size and scale of the EY US People Consulting practice. These two companies are a tremendous cultural fit for each other that will naturally augment the needs of our current and future clients.”
This transaction comes on the heels of EY acquiring Dignari, an Alexandria, VA-based woman-owned technology consulting firm specializing in digital identity and access management solutions, in late October.
