Who we are

You know those big cities that still feel like small towns? Where everyone's friendly and helps each other out? That's like Grant Thornton.

Except here we're all professionals and there isn't a mayor or a general store.

What we're trying to say is that we're a large and growing professional services firm that still feels like a community.

We employ over 3000 people across Canada, and we truly care about our colleagues, our clients and the communities where we work and live.

That's what's most important to us. We're building a thriving organization that's purpose driven and still want to remember what your favourite milkshake flavour is.

  • Collaborate with Partners and Administrative Support team members to improve the internal and external client experience
  • Participate in cross functional projects such as office specific event planning, training admin team members of newly integrated firms, etc.
  • Additional duties as assigned

Be Grant Thornton
If you're a bit like us, you're driven to connect with how others are feeling and thinking. Here we walk in others shoes before taking action.

Just imagine being part of a team that puts "we before me", where flexAbility is a mindset, and where you trust your colleagues to have your back.

At Grant Thornton, you'll work with inspiring leaders who support your development, both personally and professionally.

This is a place where your insatiable curiosity enables you to think, see and hear from a variety of perspectives, a place where every day is different and having the courage to grow is part of who you are.

And when all this comes together, well that's when the magic happens
