Job Description Summary:

Looking for a fulfilling career? One that can have a wider impact on society? At Grant Thornton, that's precisely what we offer. A career where you can have your ideas implemented. Your opinions heard. Your contributions valued. Not just by your colleagues, but by coveted clients. And the opportunity to inspire changes that can be felt wider than our business, helping us achieve our bold and ambitious vision of shaping a vibrant economy for the UK and beyond. It's a compelling mix. So bring your passion, ambitions and inspiration, and together let’s make it happen.

As part of our national team in Corporate Finance you'll work with entrepreneurial businesses, their owners and management teams in the mid-market at various stages of their lifecycle. You'll work closely with other teams across transactions advisory and transactions tax to provide services such as vendor and acquisition due diligence, floatation and reporting account work, operational due diligence and management assessment.

Job Description:

As a placement in Corporate Finance, you'll join us for 12 months to experience a year right at the heart of business, working as a fully signed-up member of the team, taking on the same responsibilities as a first year graduate.

What you'll be doing:

• You'll time doing your research around the clients you're working with including spending time on-site trying to understand their business

• You'll think strategically and see the big picture, while also being able to hone your knowledge and apply it to each client, drilling down to the core of the issues, what the implications are and what needs to be done

• You'll have the chance to be a part of exciting projects beyond the day job which will really help with your development, as well as being a lot of fun

• You’ll be invited to development workshops during your time with us, some of which will take place at our training facility, Bradenham manor to help you on your way to becoming a credible business adviser.

Who we're looking for:

• You should share our CLEARR values - Collaboration, Leadership, Excellence, Agility, Respect & Responsibility

• Independent thinkers who aren’t afraid to challenge or be challenged

• Always striving to grow yourself, you should be driven to succeed with the ability to see tasks through to the end and remain agile, even when things don’t go to plan

• Passionate about supporting, advising and helping all kinds of businesses achieve their potential. Able to analyse the numbers and back them up with strategic advice, you must be a great relationship builder who can inspire everyone around you with your energy and ideas. You should also work well with others and take ownership of the part you play.

We consider academic achievements, but your strengths, motivations and connection with us and our values are more important. We’re looking for people with a broad range of interests and experiences.
