Grant Thornton Reviews

GT has clear expectations for promotion and 'tiers'. There is a clear career guide demonstrating the expected capabilities of an individual before being promoted, with 6 monthly reviews taking place.

There is a social responsibility club and foundation based around working with a number of charitable causes chosen by the staff.

GT has a very open work culture with genuine care elements integrated within the fabric of the company. It has a flat hierarchy structure with Partners and Associates, all sitting at the same desks and chairs. This allows for a more approachable workplace. Workmates are very friendly and helpful and there are several opportunities to socialise overwork drinks, lunches, coffee catch-ups and EOFY Ball events.

I am inspired by a number of mums and people from diverse backgrounds with what they are able to achieve within the company. The company often promotes diversity. Don't think the company could be much better in this respect.

My work day may consist of setting up new client engagements, checking databases, putting together proposals and standard documents and tax technical analysis (specific areas of the legislation that apply to clients and how these interact with other areas of the tax law) as well as other industry-specific analysis. Also, some wider business development activities and involvement in strategy and planning.

The managers across the board are fantastic.

Dress for your day, the office is a new and agile, a very cool place to work with a balcony and views over the river

Professional, clear and thorough.

From my knowledge, the pay appears to be competitive, if not slightly better, than at competing firms at a graduate level for the same role.

They heavily invest in training and development. There's a good mix of internally developed training sessions and external training run by professional bodies like CAANZ.

All the team mostly cares is that the work and client should not suffer and hence it allows for the team members to be the best judge and plan their own flexible arrangement, which can include all 5 days working from home, all 5 days working from the office or a hybrid model with a blend. The work hours are mostly within the usual business hours but once in a while if the project demands then it can be long hours.

We take many measures in audit to make digital audit evidence as easy to provide for our clients to discourage the use of paper. We also are required to separate our recycling properly and compost food scraps.
