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.

As a Manager, Independence & Ethics [Professional Consultation] your responsibilities will include:

  • With direction from the National Director, Independence & Ethics:
  • Monitor and perform the initial assessment of changes to independence standards
  • Provide guidance to engagement teams on complex independence matters as required
  • Develop and update training materials on various topics
  • Understand corporate family trees and how to use online resources (regulatory filings, annual reports, etc.) to gather relevant information on family trees
  • Assist the National Director, Independence & Ethics with monitoring the regulatory requirements associated with long association of partners performing public company audit engagements
  • Assist in automating processes where appropriate / possible
  • Understand the various processes and tools maintained by the broader team in order to provide assistance during periods of highvolume activity, or team member absences
  • Ability to handle sensitive/confidential information appropriately
  • Perform other specialproject duties as required

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

Think you've got what it takes to be a Manager, Independence & Ethics [Professional Consultation]? Like the colour purple? Great.

Here's a few more boxes we're also hoping you can tick:

  • CPA designation is an asset and a university degree in commerce, business or law
  • 4+ years of experience in a public accounting firm, supporting quality or risk systems, or in a similar practice or function
  • A good understanding of the types of services provided by a CPA firm
  • Understanding of corporate ownership structures and terminology (parent, subsidiary, brothersister, joint venture, global ultimate owner/parent)
  • Strong organizational and time management skills with the ability to assume, prioritize, and execute multiple assignments
  • Takes direction well, while also having a natural disposition to take initiative and operate in a selfdirected and resultsoriented manner
  • Ability to interact professionally with Partners and all levels of employees as well as external vendors and clients
  • A team player and ability to work with others to accomplish a common goal


At Grant Thornton we're focused on making a difference in the lives of our clients, our colleagues and our communities.
