Job Description
Every day, our teams help people in businesses and communities to do what is right and achieve their goals.
The National Assurance Services (“NAS”) team is the firm's centre of technical excellence for assurance and financial reporting. Drawing on our strong relationships with regulators, standard setters, and the people in our firm, we provide innovative, practical, and robust solutions to auditing and financial reporting matters that support audit engagement teams with the delivery of high-quality audits.
We’re happy to talk flexible working and consider reduced hours and job shares. We’ll support you to balance your work and life.
A look into the role
This team primarily assists the audit practice with accounting and corporate reporting-related consultations, compliance reviews of annual reports and accounts (ARAs) prior to signing audit reports.
An assistant manager will be responsible for the first review of technical accounting queries, hot reviews, and facilitating the Audit Helpdesk (reactive work). You need either direct experience or a keen interest in technical accounting and corporate reporting, with a desire to develop into a knowledgeable and credible accounting and corporate reporting specialist.
You will keep up to date with technical knowledge related to accounting and corporate reporting requirements and support audit practice training events.
Knowing you’re right for us
The minimum criteria you’ll need is a professional qualification (ACA, CA, ACCA).
We are looking for someone technically strong who will reach appropriate conclusions on technical matters in consultation with more experienced team members.
You need a strong understanding of accounting frameworks (UK adopted IFRS and UK GAAP), statutory, and other regulatory requirements. From your experience working in an audit team, you will be able to adapt your style to interact effectively with engagement teams from different backgrounds and levels of experience.
Knowing we’re right for you
At Grant Thornton, we value diversity and foster an inclusive culture where everyone can perform at their best and realize their potential. Our open and accessible culture means you'll interact with leaders who are interested in you and what you bring to our firm. We encourage you to bring your whole self to work and pursue your passions inside and outside of work.
Beyond the job
Life is more than work. We’re happy to consider flexible working options for all roles to help you maintain a healthy work-life balance.
The impact you make here will extend beyond your day job. From secondments to fundraising for local charities or investing in entrepreneurs in the developing world, you’ll be giving back to society. Our drive to do the right thing is grounded in our CLEARR values – Collaboration, Leadership, Excellence, Agility, Respect, and Responsibility.
We seek people who want to contribute, spark fresh ideas, and go beyond expectations. People who want to proudly do what’s right—for the firm, our clients, our colleagues, and themselves. That’s how it should be.
