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. That's Grant Thornton.

NEW GROUND WON’T BREAK ITSELF.

Every day our teams help people in businesses and communities to do what is right and achieve their goals.

We bring audit knowledge and technology together, so that the people who rely on our tools can trust that they are accurate, reliable and ready for use on client work. You will join a collaborative, forward-looking team where quality is part of everyday delivery.

We’re happy to talk flexible working and consider reduced hours and job shares, we’ll support you to balance your work and life.

  • Work with developers, auditors and Product Owners to clarify requirements and resolve issues, and support User Acceptance Testing.

  • Familiarity with Azure DevOps and QA best practices, and experience of web application testing, including cross-browser compatibility.
  • Experience in financial services, audit or consulting environments, and an understanding of financial systems, ERP platforms or audit processes.

Life is more than work. The things you do, and the people you’re with outside of work matter, that’s why we’re happy to look at flexible working options for all our roles, and we’ll always do our best to keep your work and life in balance.

The impact you can make here will go far beyond your day job.

It’s that drive to do the right thing that runs through our every move, grounded in our firm’s values – purposefully driven, actively curious and candid but kind.

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. It’s how it should be.
