  "account": "EY, the Big Four firm, has reported a significant increase in staff and AI-related revenue in its latest financial year. The firm added nearly 10,000 jobs globally, bringing its workforce to 415,000. However, this growth was not uniform, with the Americas division shrinking by approximately 4,500 positions. EY's global boss, Janet Truncale, attributes the surge in AI-related sales to the company's 'All-In' strategy, which has seen a 50% increase in revenue. This is expected to continue as businesses increasingly redesign their operations in response to AI. Despite growing concerns about AI-driven job loss, EY has remained optimistic, with the firm's workforce expansion largely concentrated in its global entities. Overall, EY's revenue rose 4.7% to $57 billion in the 2026 financial year.",
  "summary": "The Big Four firm's AI-related sales were up 49% in its latest financial year as its dives into huge projects to transform clients' businesses.",
