Descripción del empleo

Who we are At Grant Thornton we're building something bold. We're doing things differently - looking to the future, driving ambitious growth and pioneering positive change in our industry. Providing audit, tax and advisory services, we empower clients through strategic insight, curiosity, and genuine partnership. And we empower our people with real opportunity. Our journey from great to exceptional is well underway. With significant investment behind us and a clear strategy for growth, there's real momentum. Our Agile Talent Community (ATC) brings together experienced contract professionals who want choice without losing connection. You work where you add the most value, alongside teams who treat you as a partner rather than a placeholder.

Assignment Description:

Joining us in CFO Solutions - Finance Placements Grant Thornton's CFO Solutions provides strategic, transformation and execution support for CFOs, through multiple services including finance consultancy, finance placements, business process outsourcing and technical accounting advice. The Finance Placements team focuses on providing an on-demand and project-focused accounting service, deploying individuals and teams of interim finance professionals into our clients' finance functions to help them through periods of challenge or change. If you are an experienced Interim Commercial Accountant who's tired of choosing between freedom and meaningful work, there's another route. Within CFO Solutions team you'll be given the opportunity to take on short- to medium-term projects that sharpen your expertise, stretch your thinking, and give you a different angle on familiar challenges - all without locking you into a single path.

Skills we are looking for

• Fully qualified accountant and a member of a professional accounting body such as ACA, ACCA, CIMA or equivalent.
• A commercially minded accountant at Assistant Manager or Manager level, with a solid foundation in financial and management accounting and an understanding of how costs flow through complex, contract-driven project environments.
• Sector experience across infrastructure, rail, construction, civils or contracting.
• Working knowledge of NEC contract forms or other standard infrastructure contract frameworks, with the ability to identify disallowed costs, assess cost allocation and challenge contractor claims where appropriate.
• Strong analytical and communication skills with the ability to present findings clearly to senior stakeholders.

Why Consultants choose the ATC

Work that moves you forward When a project fits your skills, we'll get in touch, but you choose whether it's right for you. That means working on engagements that genuinely build your portfolio and expand your expertise.

The freedom of contracting without the hidden admin

You're not left to navigate the freelance world alone. Our Agile Talent team helps you understand freelance regulation and connects you with people who broaden your thinking through our teams and clients.

Community you can actually feel

Connection shouldn't disappear just because you're contracting. From market insights to wellbeing sessions to networking events, you'll be part of a community designed to make the independent path less isolated and more impactful.

Our culture and values

We have a culture where talented people thrive - where high performance is not just expected but enabled. It's a culture built on clarity, curiosity, and care. One that challenges us to aim higher, where we're encouraged to make the most of an abundance of resources to fuel our own development, and where we support each other to grow, learn, and succeed. Our open and accessible culture means you'll interact with leaders who are interested in you and everything you bring to our firm. The things that set you apart, we value them. That's why we give you the freedom to bring your whole self to work and pursue your passions inside and outside of work.

The world of work has changed, and traditional full-time roles aren't always the right fit.

The Agile Talent Community is how Grant Thornton has adapted, a network of contract professionals working with valued clients on a project-by-project basis, backed by the same support and development you'd expect from the firm. You decide which projects to take on and how you manage your time around them.

It's built on the same values that sit at the heart of Grant Thornton: a commitment to diversity and inclusion, a client-centric, quality-driven ethos, and genuine care for our people.
