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 Analyst, Financial Planning & Analysis your responsibilities will include:

Work with the FP&A team to develop and maintain the firm's financial models, budgets, and forecasts
Support the team during the budget and forecast process, including managing weekly and monthly updates to headcount, fees and expense assumptions
Support the preparation and distribution of monthly, budget, and adhoc management financial reporting packages through pulling data from various sources, for leadership review
Work with Business Unit leaders and other departments nationally to maintain and support analysis, budgeting and forecasting processes.
Prepare and analyze financial results for Business Units and Service Lines to assess performance against expense targets and key performance indicators and report on significant variances
