We're a team of independent thinkers who put quality, inclusion and integrity first. All around the world we bring a different experience to our clients. A better experience. One that delivers the expertise they need in a way that goes beyond - personal, proactive, and agile.

Job Description:

You already know what an Audit Assistant Manager does, so we want to tell you what it’s like to work within Audit at Grant Thornton, and what we can offer you that others don’t.

Why Audit at Grant Thornton

Our UK audit practice is built of over 2300 people working across 24 locations, led by Wendy Russell and supported by 50 audit partners. We’re proud of the strong position our audit practice is in from a wellbeing, resource and quality perspective, as shown through our recent positive AQR results. Every day our teams help people in businesses and communities to do what is right and achieve their goals. Our tailored and responsive approach provides the expertise our clients need, enabling them to grow and make the right decisions about their future.

Now’s the time to take everything you know about audit to the next level, with our growing portfolio of clients. The constantly evolving landscape calls for an approach that puts what is right first, ahead of what is easy, and you will need to push ideas harder and ask difficult questions, giving our clients the assurance they need.

Our size and culture allow us to give you more opportunities within your career. You will have more responsibility for client outputs, and more variety in the work you take on and the clients you work with. You can develop your career in a way that works for you, and the firm, and we’ll support you with development programmes and opportunities along the way.

A look into the role

We are looking for an assistant manager with external FS audit experience, to support a growing client base in a quickly developing market. Here are some things you can expect from this financial services role:

• You’ll consistently achieve deadlines and understand the commercial implications of actions relating to productivity, recoverability, fee income and client service.
• You will be the key contact for the client on day-to-day matters and take the lead on dealing with large, technically complex clients. You’ll highlight all key issues which may affect the audit opinion to the partner and make recommendations for appropriate action.
• Regular communication and feedback must be provided whilst encouraging training and development for yourself and others.
• We will empower you to act as a trusted business adviser to our clients, managing key client portfolios and building and maintaining good working relationships.
• Organising and attending office marketing events, you will be aware of the wide range of services the firm offers and suggest innovative products to address clients' needs.

Preferred Skills

• Experience of managing audits of large companies in addition to dealing with complex technical matters.
• Excellent knowledge of UK GAAP / FRS102.
• Project management experience.
• Experience of IFRS and auditing listed companies would be beneficial.

Beyond the job

The impact you can make here will go far beyond your day job. From secondments to fundraising for local charities, or investing in entrepreneurs in the developing world, you’ll be giving back to society.

We’re looking for people who want to contribute, spark fresh ideas and go beyond expectations. People who want to be able to proudly do what’s right, for the firm, our clients, our people and themselves.
