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 provide clients with diverse experiences—personal, proactive, and agile—delivering expertise that goes beyond expectations. That’s Grant Thornton.

Job Description:

We have around 500 words to convince you to apply for one of our senior manager roles. Here’s why you should choose us.

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

This is where you come in. We seek the best talent to join us on this next stage of our journey.

We’re looking for senior managers to join our commercial audit practice across various UK locations. This is your chance to play a strategic role in a firm dedicated to nurturing your growth and advancing your career.

Here are five reasons to join our audit practice:

Like you, we have ambitious growth plans.

Since 2022, we have achieved record revenue each year and have set ambitious targets for the future.

To achieve these goals, we must continue delivering market-leading quality across our core client portfolios while expanding our complex and mid-market client base. Success depends on having the right people on board.

Market-leading performance deserves market-leading rewards.

Our people are the backbone of our success. Alongside a competitive salary and benefits, 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, because we believe our people should share in our firm’s growth and success.

Culture is everything. Ours is built on trust, flexibility, and inclusion.

Life is about more than work. Our audit teams foster a high-performance culture built on trust. We support open conversations at the start of each audit to understand individual working styles and commitments, ensuring we deliver exceptional client service while respecting work-life balance.

Your development is our focus.

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

We prioritize quality.

Delivering quality is fundamental. We are the only firm to have received 100% on file reviews twice. Our leadership is focused on maintaining high standards, equipping teams with advanced resources and technology to ensure the highest quality audits, supported by ongoing technological investments.
