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 over 76,000 professionals in more than 150 countries. We are a team of independent thinkers who prioritize quality, inclusion, and integrity. Globally, 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 pivotal moment 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 since 2022, we have set bold 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 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, experienced in listed or larger mid-market companies, 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 presents 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 foundation of our success, and we believe in shared wins. 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, 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 safeguard the interests of upcoming generations of partners.

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

We understand that life extends beyond work. We support our teams through open conversations at the start of each audit to align on working styles and personal commitments.

Your development is our priority.

We are committed to your growth from day one, with clear pathways for promotion and ongoing skills development. We have invested 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 exceptional client service is about more than just completing tasks; it’s about maintaining high standards. We are proud to have received 100% on file review scores twice, a testament to our commitment to quality.

This is a unique opportunity during an exciting period of growth for the firm. If you’re interested in learning more, please register your interest. Our internal talent team will contact you for an informal, confidential discussion.

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