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 offer our clients a unique experience—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, an expanded client base, and increased career opportunities.

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

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

Five reasons to join our audit practice:

1. Like you, we have ambitious growth plans.

With record revenue each year from 2022 onwards, we have set ambitious targets for the future. To achieve these, we must continue delivering market-leading quality across our core client portfolios while expanding our complex and mid-market client base. Success depends on the right people.

2. Market-leading performance deserves market-leading rewards.

Our people are the foundation 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 employees below partner level, sharing in our growth and success.

3. Culture built on trust, flexibility, and inclusion.

Life is more than work. Our high-performing audit teams operate within a culture founded on trust. We support our teams through open conversations at the start of each audit to understand individual working styles and commitments, ensuring exceptional client service while respecting work-life balance.

4. Your development is our priority.

We support your progression from day one, with clear expectations and development plans aimed at future promotion. We also invest heavily in skills development, including a £1.2 million investment in innovative '3D' Data-Driven Digital mindset training.

5. Commitment to quality.

Quality is at the core of our service. We are the only firm to have received 100% on file reviews twice. Our leadership focuses sharply on quality, providing resources and technology to support our teams in delivering the highest standards of audit work, enhanced by ongoing technological investments.
