Grant Thornton is a global organisation and the fifth largest financial services firm in the UK. We provide trusted advice to dynamic businesses of all shapes and sizes.

All of our work experience students will spend a week getting stuck into areas of Audit, Tax and Advisory, as well as being coached around their professional development skills.
