Job description

More than you expected

The UK member firms of Grant Thornton are part of a global network of independent audit, tax, and advisory firms, comprising approximately 76,000 professionals across over 150 countries. We are a team of independent thinkers who prioritize quality, inclusion, and integrity. Globally, we bring diverse experiences to our clients, delivering a better, personalized, proactive, and agile service. That's Grant Thornton.

Job Description:

Our investment from Cinven marks a significant milestone in our journey from great to exceptional, positioning us for growth and development through enhanced technology, a larger client base, and more career progression opportunities.

Like you, we have ambitious growth plans.

With record revenues each year from 2022 onwards, we have set ambitious targets for the future while maintaining our partnership structure and ethos.

Our Audit Directors are Responsible Individuals, focused on delivering and signing off high-quality audits. You will play a key role in the strategic growth of the team, business development, and fostering an inclusive culture. We are seeking existing Responsible Individuals with a high audit quality rating, operating in either the listed or larger mid-market space, who are passionate about coaching teams and building long-standing client relationships. We are eager to grow our audit practice with individuals who value our collaborative, inclusive, and high-performing culture.

If you're seeking a change, this is an opportunity to take on a leading strategic role with a firm committed to supporting your growth and development towards Partnership.

Market-leading performance deserves market-leading rewards.

Our people are the foundation of our success. When we win, we do so together.

In addition to a competitive salary and benefits package, we plan to introduce an Employee Benefit Trust (EBT), making us the only large UK firm to offer equity units to employees below partner grade, allowing you to share in the firm's growth and success. A significant portion of equity reserved for future partners has been held back during the investment period to protect future generations of partners.

Culture is everything.

Our culture is built on trust, flexibility, and inclusion. We believe life is about more than work. We support our teams in delivering their best work through open conversations at the start of each audit, ensuring clarity on ways of working and personal commitments.

Your development is our focus.

We are committed to your growth from day one, working with you to set clear expectations and create development plans to guide your path towards promotion. We are investing heavily in our people’s skills, including a £1.2 million investment in innovative "3D" Data-Driven Digital mindset training.

We prioritize quality.

Delivering value to our clients is about more than just completing tasks; it’s about maintaining the highest standards. We are proud to be the only firm to have received 100% on file reviews twice.

This is a unique opportunity to join an exciting period of growth. If you want to learn more, please register your interest, and our internal talent team will contact you for an informal, confidential discussion.

Note to agencies: We operate a direct sourcing model with a formal PSL. We will consider speculative CVs only if directed to our Talent & Recruitment team, not directly to the Audit practice.
