Who are we?

Grant Thornton is one of the world’s leading audit, tax and advisory firms, with offices in over 100 countries. But we are much more than just accountants – and so are the people that work for us. We’re a complex, ambitious organisation, helping over 40,000 clients in the UK alone to improve their financial performance and manage risk through our specialised business advisory services. 

It's not just what we do, but the way we do it and our passion for business that sets us apart as a firm. Our people constantly strive to add value by fostering strong working relationships, listening critically and digging down to the core issues for each client to provide the kind of clarity and strategic business advice that takes them from where they are to where they want to be.

What are we looking for? 

The 300 graduates, school leavers, placements and interns that join us in 20 of our 27 UK offices each year become well-rewarded, well-rounded business advisors. They know they want a dynamic and challenging career. They love tough challenges, look for opportunities and believe what they do matters. As such, they get variety and responsibility early on and the experience of working on a huge range of homegrown and international clients of all shapes, sizes and across many sectors. 

What you'll be doing?

When you first join you'll attend our national induction where you’ll discover more about our firm, our strategy and how we work. It will also be a great chance for you to meet all the other trainees from around the country and to start building your internal networks from day one. 

Our graduate programme offers you the chance to gain extensive experience of working for an ambitious and dynamic organization with clients across all sectors and industries. We encourage you to take ownership and drive your own development from the outset, defining your own career path and growing our business and those of our clients at the same time. . Our size and down-to-earth, supportive culture means that this is a place where your opinions matter, and asking questions and getting involved are as much a part of the skill set you’ll need for a fast-track career, as the professional qualification you’ll gain. 

Who are we looking for?
