Job description

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 across more than 150 countries. We are a team of independent thinkers committed to quality, inclusion, and integrity. Globally, we aim to bring diverse experiences to our clients, delivering a better, personal, proactive, and agile service. That's Grant Thornton.

Job Description:

Our investment from Cinven marks a pivotal moment in our journey from being great to becoming exceptional, positioning us for growth and development through enhanced technology, an expanded client base, and increased career opportunities.

Like you, we have ambitious growth plans.

With record revenues since 2022, 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 expand our audit practice with individuals 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 Partnership.

Rewards:

Market-leading performance deserves market-leading rewards. Our people are the cornerstone of our success, and we believe in shared wins.

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 staff below partner level, allowing you to share in our firm's growth and success. A significant portion of equity reserved for future partners has been held back during the investment period to safeguard the future of upcoming partners.

Culture and Development:

Our culture is built on trust, flexibility, and inclusion. We believe life extends beyond work, and we support our teams through open conversations at the start of each audit to understand individual working styles and commitments.

Your development is our priority. We do not make empty promises about promotions but support your growth from day one, working with you to set clear expectations and development plans for promotion.

We invest heavily in our people's skills, including a £1.2 million investment in innovative "3D" Data-Driven Digital mindset training.

Quality Focus:

We prioritize quality over speed. Our commitment to excellence is demonstrated by our unique achievement of 100% on file review scores, twice.

Join Us:

This is a unique opportunity to join the firm during an exciting period of growth. If interested, please register your interest, and our internal talent team will contact you for a confidential conversation.

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