Jaime Eichen – former chief accountant at the SEC's Division of Investment Management – has rejoined EY as a partner in the professional practice group, focused on the wealth and asset management sector.

At the SEC, which she joined in 2008,  Eichen interpreted new accounting and auditing regulations while also directing the financial reporting, accounting and auditing practices of investment companies. She also spent three years as an assistant chief accountant in that division.

Prior to working at the SEC, Eichen provided assurance services to asset management clients - including mutual funds, hedge funds, private equity funds, investment advisors and general partners - as a senior manager at EY.

“The wealth and asset management sector has rebounded from the global financial crisis to face a rapidly evolving regulatory environment and continued industry convergence,” said Tom Flannery, a partner with Ernst & Young LLP and EY Americas co-leader – wealth and asset management.
