"Coming into the office is a joy."

My journey with Grant Thornton started as an  intern. What struck me immediately was how  welcoming everyone was. Now as a graduate, that first impression has proven absolutely right – from day one, my colleagues have been incredibly friendly and supportive. 

What makes Grant Thornton special is how we work together. Everyone, in each office from juniors to partners, shares the same open-plan floor space, creating an environment that’s professional yet refreshingly down-to-earth. I love how this setup encourages natural mentoring and knowledge sharing. Whether I’m  preparing financial statements or working on tax returns, there’s always someone willing to explain concepts or answer questions. BAS grads also get exposure to a wide range of businesses and sectors; every client brings unique insights into different industries, making every day a new learning experience.

The firm genuinely values work-life balance, which makes coming to the office a joy. We have regular social events and weekly get-togethers that help us connect across teams.
