Description

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 an Administrative Assistant your responsibilities will include:

Working independently and within a team environment to support the client service staff to produce high quality client deliverables
Assembling year end packages (tax returns, financial statements, letters)
Managing electronic and paperbased client files
Efiling as required

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