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 over 76,000 professionals in more than 150 countries. We are a team of independent thinkers who prioritize quality, inclusion, and integrity. Across the world, we bring diverse experiences to our clients, delivering a better, more personalized, proactive, and agile service. That's Grant Thornton.

Job Description:

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

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, focusing on delivering and signing off high-quality audits. You will have a strong focus on the strategic growth of the team, business development, and fostering an inclusive culture. We are looking for 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 to success and building long-standing client relationships. We are eager to expand our audit practice with the right people who value our collaborative, inclusive, and high-performing culture.

If you are seeking a change, this is an opportunity to take a leading strategic role within a firm that supports your growth and development towards becoming a Partner.

Market-leading performance deserves market-leading rewards.

Our people are the core of our success, and we believe in winning together. Alongside 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 staff below partner grade, allowing you to share in our growth and success. A significant portion of equity reserved for future partners has been held back during the investment period to protect the interests of upcoming generations of partners.

Culture is everything.

Built on trust, flexibility, and inclusion, our culture recognizes that life is about more than work. We encourage open conversations at the start of each audit to understand everyone's working styles and personal commitments.

Your development is our focus.

We are committed to supporting your growth from day one, with clear communication of expectations and tailored development plans to guide you toward 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 for our clients is about more than just completing tasks; quality is our hallmark. We are proud to be the only firm to receive 100% on file reviews twice, underscoring our commitment to excellence.

This is a unique opportunity at an exciting time in our evolution. If you're interested in learning more, please register your interest, and our internal talent team will contact you for an informal, confidential conversation.

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