What EY’s tier placings mean
On “What are the best NetSuite implementation partners?”, EY sits in tier 5 of 7, named in 94 of 175 responses (53.7%). That places it below the leading group on this question, where the top firm was named in 93.7% of responses against EY’s 53.7%. It shares tier 5 with Sikich, which the sample cannot separate from it. 5 further firms were named on this question but fell into lower tiers, meaning the sample did separate EY from them.

What this page is, and is not
- It is a count of how often AI assistants named EY when asked buyer questions about fractional CFO and outsourced accounting firms and NetSuite and ERP implementation partners. Nothing here is a review, a rating, or an assessment of the firm’s work.
- EY did not submit this listing, was not contacted about it, and cannot pay to change it, move up, or be removed.
- A firm named in few responses may still be excellent. Share follows what has been published about a firm online, which is what an AI assistant reads.
- Wrong details, or a firm merged with another of a similar name? We fix those.
