Role description : About Grant Thornton: In the U.S., “Grant Thornton” is the brand for two professional-services entities: Grant Thornton LLP, a licensed, certified public accounting (CPA) firm that provides audit and assurance services ― and Grant Thornton Advisors LLC (not a licensed CPA firm), which exclusively provides non-attest offerings, including tax and advisory services. In 2025, Grant Thornton formed a global platform with Grant Thornton Ireland. The platform offers a premier Trans-Atlantic advisory and tax practice, as well as independent American and Irish audit practices. With $2.7 billion in revenues and more than 50 global offices spanning the U.S., Ireland and other territories, Grant Thornton delivers a singular client experience that includes enhanced solutions and capabilities, backed by powerful technologies and a global roster of roughly 12,000 quality-driven professionals. In recent years, Grant Thornton has successfully implemented a business strategy featuring meaningful investments across its core business segments, as well as enhanced client centricity, personalized services and quality. Grant Thornton is fueling our strategy by offering dynamic professional-development paths and a unique culture that attracts and retains talented team members. *In March 2024, New Mountain Capital — a leading growth-oriented investment firm with approximately $55 billion in assets under management — announced it will lead a shareholder group to acquire Grant Thornton LLP. CDPQ and OA Private Capital made minority investments in Grant Thornton alongside New Mountain Capital. The transaction closed May 31, 2024.
