From Trust to Leadership: The Story of EY Bulgaria

EY Bulgaria has chosen to stand behind BESCO Hall of Fame 2026, once again demonstrating its active role in the development of Bulgaria's entrepreneurial ecosystem.


Past

EY (Ernst & Young), one of the world's Big Four professional services firms, entered the Bulgarian market almost 35 years ago. Since then, EY Bulgaria has built its business reputation on trust, professionalism and curiosity.


The company names its clients as its greatest motivation and support over these years. Their trust and high expectations push the team to improve, to change and to look one step ahead.


"The most valuable partners are those who don't just believe in you, but challenge you to grow." – Nikolay Garnev, Managing Partner of EY Bulgaria


Present

EY Bulgaria grows thanks to the diverse perspectives of its team, the freedom that encourages people to develop, and the responsibility they feel to create value.


The company aims not only to deliver projects but also to build trust in business. Every day, it also works to improve the environment of the different communities it is part of.


Through its work, EY wants to raise standards of transparency, professionalism and responsible governance, and to create an environment where talented people can grow. For the team, the greatest impact is when people who started their careers at EY move on and carry these standards into other organizations.


For EY Bulgaria, true success is when a company can function without its leader. That is what the team is trying to achieve: to create new leaders who have the freedom to make decisions and do things their own way.


"If one day I look back and see that the people I have worked with have become better leaders than me, I would consider that one of my greatest professional achievements." – Nikolay Garnev, Managing Partner of EY Bulgaria


Future

EY looks forward to the new leaders who will join the company and make it even better. As a team, they want to stay curious, keep asking the hard questions and preserve the trust they have in one another, because it is their most valuable asset.


"Technology, markets and business models will keep changing, but people and values are what define the kind of company we will be." – Nikolay Garnev, Managing Partner of EY Bulgaria


The story of EY Bulgaria continues to be written by its people: those who build the company today and those who will lead it forward tomorrow. Because the most valuable legacy is left not only in business, but in the people who keep developing what you leave behind.
