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, made up of 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, offering 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, an expanded client base, and greater career opportunities.

Like you, we have ambitious growth plans.

With record revenue each year since 2022, 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 play a significant role in the strategic growth of the team, business development, and fostering an inclusive culture. We are seeking existing RIs 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 grow our audit practice with the right 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 journey toward Partnership.

Market-leading performance deserves market-leading rewards.

Our people are the foundation of our success, and we believe in shared wins. 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 employees 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 interests of future generations of partners.

Our culture is built on trust, flexibility, and inclusion.

Life is about more than work. We support our teams to perform their best by encouraging open conversations at the start of each audit to understand individual working styles and commitments.

Your development is our priority.

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

We focus on quality.

Delivering excellent client service is about more than just completing tasks; it’s about maintaining high standards. We are proud to be the only firm to receive 100% on file review scores twice.

This is a unique opportunity to join an exciting period in our development. If you are interested, please register your interest, and our internal talent team will contact you for a confidential, informal conversation.

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