I can't read the article (paywall), but in general - you can't. E&Y (and the other audit firms) have very real conflict rules that prevent audit customers from using advisory services and vice versa.

In fact, we went down the road in building out an offer that would have worked with one of the firms and we abandoned it because it was so painful to just determine if they had a conflict and then we would lose the customer if they did.
