Truro, Canada Grant Thornton 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 2500 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 an Administrative Assistant your responsibilities will include**:

- Use your Microsoft Office skills every day; preparing, editing and formatting letters, reports, presentations, financial statements and other documents
- Learn and be skilled on our internal software programs
- Work closely with the team to complete all administrative tasks in a timely manner and with great attention to detail
- Take pride in your work and ensure the highest quality on every product
- Work with client-facing team members
- Be focused on your continued growth and development
- Be efficient with filing, faxing, scanning and photocopying
- Have the opportunity to work on projects with others within the Nova Scotia Business Unit (NSBU)
- Have a mindset to improve efficiencies and share your ideas with the team
- Prepare and submit expense accounts for partners, principals and managers
- Support the business with other administrative tasks 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

**Think you’ve got what it takes to be an Administrative Assistant? Like the colour purple? Great. Here's a few more boxes we’re also hoping you can tick**:

- You have completed a recognized administration office program
- You are a go-getter ~ you see when something needs to be done and you do it
- You can take direction and ask questions to understand
- You know that spelling and grammar are critical to a professional product
- You are an active team player
- You also work well independently
- You pay incredible attention to detail and take pride in your work, ensuring high quality assurance at all times
- You are ultra-organized so that you are able to meet some tight deadlines, especially during peak tax season
- You want to continuously learn new skills and help others with their learning journey too

At Grant Thornton we’re focused on making a difference in the lives of our clients, our colleagues and our communities. That’s our purpose. Or, as we like to say, living our purple.
