BUSINESS advisory firm Grant Thornton plans to take on 50 more staff as part of a major recruitment drive at its Belfast office in response to continued growth across all service lines.

The firm intends to fill positions across its audit, tax, restructuring, economic advisory, corporate finance and operations teams as part of a post-pandemic strategy for exponential growth.

Grant Thornton's Northern Ireland managing partner Richard Gillan said: “Our continued expansion in Northern Ireland is as a result of persistent growth right across all of our service lines.

“By continuing to attract, invest in and retain the most talented people in the market, we will ensure that our reputation for providing exceptional service and going beyond in order to deliver genuine added value will only be further enhanced.”

With revenues having increased more than fivefold in seven years, Grant Thornton’s client roster, which already contains many of the north’s largest corporates, continues to expand.

Working across all sectors, the practice has been busy in recent times advising on specific issues arising from the Covid-19 pandemic and the Northern Ireland Protocol. Demand has also increased as organisations seek assistance as they navigate an increasingly complex tax system.

Richard added: “Our business is all about empowering our people and creating an environment that allows them to thrive. It’s about having a culture whereby great fun sits alongside the hard work.

“So if you are an ambitious professional, passionate about providing a best in class service to clients whilst working within a dynamic, fast-paced and forward-thinking organisation with people at its centre, then we want to hear from you at www.grantthorntonni.com/careers/.”
