Job Description:

Public Sector Financial Reporting Manager- Nationwide

Our successful Public Sector Financial Reporting team provides training, guidance, technical assistance and quality assurance to support the UK's largest public sector external audit practice to deliver high quality audits which provide assurance to the public and wider stakeholders and add value to the public sector organisations we work with.

This innovative role gives the successful candidate the opportunity to utilise their financial reporting and accounting knowledge to directly support audit teams deliver quality audits and also directly support public sector organisations with the challenges that they face.

Why Grant Thornton

Our Financial Reporting team sits within the Public Sector Audit and Assurance practice.

Our UK audit practice is built of over 2,300 people working across 24 locations, led by Wendy Russell and supported by 50 audit partners. We're really proud of the strong position our audit practice is in from a wellbeing, resource and quality perspective, the latter of which is shown through our recent positive AQR results. Every day our teams help people in businesses and communities to do what is right and achieve their goals. Our tailored and responsive approach provides the expertise our clients need, enabling them to grow and make the right decisions about their future.

Our Public Sector Audit team of over 470 people works with some of the country's largest NHS Trusts, Local Authorities and Public Sector bodies. Our financial reporting teams expand the work that we do from an assurance perspective beyond audit, building on the reputation and profile the firm has from its audit service, thought leadership and insight.

Our size and culture allows us to give you more opportunities within your career. You will have more responsibility for client outputs and more variety in the work you take on and the clients you work with, from NHS to Local Government. You can develop your career in a way that works for you, and the firm, and we'll support you with development programmes and opportunities along the way.

Life is about more than work

The things you do, and the people you're with outside of work matter, that's why we're happy to look at flexible working options for all our roles, whether that's reduced or condensed hours, job shares, we'll always do our best to keep your work and life in balance. Everyone in the firm is encouraged to work in a hybrid way, want to go for a run at 3pm, or collect children from school? That's fine with us if it fits with your client work. Our framework for how we work underpins our approach, giving us all the confidence to make decisions that work for us, and our teams.

Knowing we're right for you

Embracing uniqueness, the culture at Grant Thornton thrives on the contributions of all our people, we never settle for what is easy, we look beyond to deliver the right thing, for everyone. Building an inclusive culture, where we value difference and respect our colleagues helps our people to perform at the best of their ability and realise their potential.

Our open and accessible culture means you'll interact with leaders who are interested in you and everything you bring to our firm. We value the things that set you apart.. That's why we give you the freedom to bring your whole self to work and pursue your passions inside and outside of work.
