EOY stands for End of year, a management & strategy abbreviation also used in general use.
Deadline or period meaning the close of the current year, either the calendar year (December 31) or, in some companies, the fiscal year. It appears in planning documents, emails and sales targets, and retailers also use it for year-end clearance events.
Example: We need the vendor contract signed by EOY so the spend lands in this year's budget.
Usage notes
Because many companies' fiscal years do not end in December, it is worth confirming whether EOY means the calendar or fiscal year end; some writers use FYE for the latter. Related shorthand includes EOD (end of day), EOW (end of week), EOM (end of month) and EOQ (end of quarter).
