Meet John

“From tax compliance to complex consulting projects - every day brings new learning opportunities.”

I love Grant Thornton’s dedication to grads’ professional and personal development, and its commitment to mentorship and continuous learning. In my role, I get to work on tax projects that help me build both my technical expertise and client relationship skills. A typical day in my role involves a mix of compliance and advisory work across various tax areas, assisting clients with their obligations, and ensuring clients comply with tax rules and reporting  requirements. I also enjoy working on consulting projects that involve complex problem-solving and research. Understanding tax law intricacies and applying them to real client situations is both challenging and rewarding. 

Everyone, from partners to peers, is invested in my development. The buddy system has been especially helpful, as it allowed me to learn from someone who has walked in my shoes. I also have access to comprehensive learning resources through Kia Puāwai, our learning and development platform, and the firm’s support for my CA studies has been fantastic.
