CASS Financial Services Assistant Audit Manager

Overview

At Grant Thornton we do things differently – looking to the future, driving ambitious growth and pioneering positive change in our industry. We provide audit, tax and advisory services, empowering clients through strategic insight, curiosity and genuine partnership. We empower our people with real opportunity, an inclusive culture and work‑life balance. A true alternative.

With over 5,000 people in the UK and a presence in 150 global markets, we are on an ambitious journey from great to exceptional. We need the best people to help us achieve our potential and to help redefine what our industry looks like and what you want from your career.

You already know what an Audit Assistant Manager does, so we want to tell you what it’s like to work within Audit at Grant Thornton, and what we can offer you that others don’t.

Our UK audit practice is built of over 2,300 people working across 24 locations, led by Fiona Baldwin and supported by 50 audit partners. We’re proud of our strong position from a wellbeing, resource and quality perspective, reflected in our recent positive AQR results. Every day our teams help people in businesses and communities to do what is right and achieve their goals.

Our tailored and responsive approach provides the expertise our clients need, enabling them to grow and make the right decisions about their future.

Now the time to take everything you know about audit to the next level, with our growing portfolio of clients. The constantly evolving landscape calls for an approach that puts what is right first, ahead of what is easy. You will need to push ideas harder, ask difficult questions and give our clients the assurance they need.

Our size and culture allow us to give you more opportunities within your career. You will have more responsibility for client outputs, and more variety in the work you take on and the clients you work with. You can develop your career in a way that works for you and the firm, and we’ll support you with development programmes and opportunities along the way.

We’re keen to support and hire those who have had career breaks or time away from audit in industry roles, who would like to return to a busy, flexible auditing role. Our vacancies for qualified auditors are all open to supporting the up‑skilling and re‑integration of returners to our business.

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, whether that’s reduced or condensed hours, job shares. We’ll always do our best to keep your work and life in balance. Everyone in the firm is encouraged to work in a hybrid way – want to go for a run at 3 pm, or collect children from school?

That’s fine with us if it fits with your client work. Our framework for how we work underpins our approach, giving us all the confidence to make decisions that work for us and our teams.

Embracing uniqueness, the culture at Grant Thornton thrives on the contributions of all our people. We never settle for what is easy, we look beyond to deliver the right thing, for everyone. Building an inclusive culture, where we value difference and respect our colleagues helps our people to perform at the best of their ability and realise their potential.

Our open and accessible culture means you’ll interact with leaders who are interested in you and everything you bring to our firm. The things that set you apart, we value them. That’s why we give you the freedom to bring your whole self to work and pursue your passions inside and outside of work.
