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 graduates, 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?

Our placement 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. . We hope candidates for sandwich placements will be seriously considering a permanent position with the firm, and as such, you'll see first-hand the opportunities open to you.  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 experience you’ll gain. 

Don’t just take our word for it. You can get an insight into life here by following our trainees on Twitter, where you’ll get real-time updates on the daily activities of Grant Thornton people across our business areas.
