Background

About Jake Odonnell

Manager in EY Private’s Family Enterprise Business Services (FEBS) practice, where I advise business-owning families on generational transition, shareholder liquidity, company capitalization, and long-term business growth. My work focuses on helping family enterprises align ownership, governance, and strategy to achieve both continuity and sustainable success. I hold the Certified Valuation Analyst (CVA) designation and bring a strong background in business valuation and financial consulting, which enhances the technical rigor and strategic perspective I provide in client engagements. Prior to EY, I worked extensively across industries - including manufacturing, mining, construction, retail, and energy - supporting clients in financial analysis, planning, and decision-making. I am passionate about helping family enterprises navigate complexity, preserve legacy, and position for the future through forward looking strategies that balance financial, tax, and governance considerations.
