Grant Thornton Graduate Programme

Hear from our graduate trainees, Dan and Julia, about what they've enjoyed most on their programmes, and their advice for you.

Get to know us, and our clients and start learning more about yourself. Whether you join us in Audit, Tax or Advisory, our three-year programme will take you from graduate to professionally qualified, opening up a world of opportunity for you.

Of course, studying and working at the same time can be tough. If you can deliver the focus and quality we expect, we'll work hard to support you and you'll soon see that starting your career with us is full of rewards.

Entry requirements

We have a flexible approach to entry requirements and we don't ask for certain degrees to have been studied. We'll consider these alongside your strengths, motivations and potential.

Studying alongside working

Our graduate programme covers three years of studying alongside working. You will spend this time learning and gaining real work experience, putting into action what you have learnt.

Professionally qualified

Our structured development programme will support you to achieve professional accountancy qualifications including ACA, CTA and CA, fully funded by the firm.

What you'll do

With the scale and variety of clients we work with, no two days are the same at Grant Thornton, whether you join us in audit, tax or advisory.

• Pack in lots of learning and new experiences, as well as studying for your exams.
• Help us provide high quality business advice to clients all over the world.
• Gain cutting edge skills and knowledge working on a variety of exciting projects.
• Interact with senior business figures early in your career.
• Enjoy being part of a dynamic global firm driven by independent thinkers.

Who you'll work with

From fintech and consumer markets, to public sector and not for profit - you'll work with organisations of different sizes, in different sectors, and in many different countries. You'll gain a better understanding of the complete business lifecycle and experience a mix of roles and challenges.

Applicants should be focused, committed and organised as a trainee, balancing study and work responsibilities. Study leave will be provided to help you complete your professional qualification, but you will likely need to study in your spare time as well.

We're now open for applications for our 2026 graduate and apprentice programmes.
