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 in more than 150 countries. We are a team of independent thinkers committed to 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 key milestone in our journey from great to exceptional, positioning us for growth and development through enhanced technology, a larger client base, and increased opportunities for career progression.

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 significant 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 either 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 is an opportunity to take a leading strategic role with a firm committed to supporting your growth and journey to Partnership.

Rewards and Benefits:

Market-leading performance deserves market-leading rewards.

Our people are the core of our success, and we believe in shared success. Alongside a competitive salary and reward 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 growth and success. A significant amount of equity reserved for future partners has been held back during the investment period, ensuring the sustainability of our future partnership.

Our Culture:

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

We believe life extends beyond work. We support our teams to perform at their best by fostering open conversations at the start of each audit, understanding individual working styles and personal commitments.

Development and Quality:

Your development is our priority.

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

We prioritize quality.

Delivering excellent client service is about more than just completing tasks; it’s about maintaining the highest standards. We are proud to be the only firm to have received 100% on file reviews twice, underscoring our commitment to quality.

Join Us:

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

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