Saint John, Canada Grant Thornton LLP (Canada) Full time

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 Senior Accountant in Audit you'll be:

  1. Collaborating with colleagues to deliver exceptional service to clients under varying reporting frameworks across different industries and sectors
  2. Planning, preparing and executing financial statement audits, reviews and compilations, including budget and resource requirement planning
  3. Providing solutions to our clients on current business and financial conditions
  4. Preparing various types of tax returns (personal, trust, and corporate) and responding to CRA requests for information
  5. Bookkeeping and investment accounting for corporation
  6. Contributing to the building of our reputation as the preferred business advisors in key sectors of our growing practice
  7. Mentoring, coaching and providing timely feedback to junior colleagues

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
