LONDON, Jan 10 (Reuters) - EY Global, one of the world's "big four" auditing and consulting firms, said on Tuesday it has appointed Jamie Miller as global chief financial officer.

EY has proposed splitting itself into separate accounting and consultancy businesses to help pay rising technology bills, with partners due to vote on the proposal in coming weeks.

Miller would become CFO of the spun-off consultancy business, if the proposal is approved.

"The selection of Miller is another step in the separation process outlined last year," EY said in a statement. "EY is moving forward in a thoughtful and deliberate manner, making strong progress on the path to partner votes."

Julie Boland was recently selected as Global Chair and CEO of the auditing part of EY. (Reporting by Huw Jones Editing by Tomasz Janowski)
