Becoming the member of our team means that you will be visiting our clients from day one. To make the induction period smoother there are some key point to remember. You will usually meet the owners of the companies who also would be working as the CEO, CFO or product developers or all positions at once. Sometimes the client is a family run business. As the auditor of an owner-managed company, you get close contact with motivated entrepreneurs and dedicated owners. It requires an understanding of not just entrepreneurship but also very wide range knowledge. Admittedly, the same auditing rules and regulations apply both for privately held companies as well as for other companies, but the auditor’s advisory role will not be the same. While counselling you must take into account not only the company’s, but also to the owner’s situation because the owner’s private budget is closely linked to the company’s finances. For example, a risk assessment of the company has to be also made at the shareholder level. In a business where multiple owners are involved, maybe a whole family, it can put the integrity and independence of an accountant to the test.
When you start working with us at Grant Thornton Baltic we lead you to direct contact with the client, who is often the owner himself. It gives you the best opportunities to build close client relationships, develop your own ideas and see the result of your work.
With us, you become part of the team and you have to see the big picture of the assignment. You do not work only with a certain section of an audit; you have to be aware of the whole process.
We have a flat organization structure. In practice this means that you as the employee have the opportunity to influence the development of the company and your ideas are always welcome. Our organization provides a suitable environment for those who are not afraid to get involved and take the initiative.
We offer our clients full range of services providing audit, accounting, tax, legal, business and financial advisory services. It means we are valued partners for our clients and it also means that our employees have wide range of career opportunities. Maybe you start as an audit assistant with the target set to become a sworn auditor, but after some years the corporate advisory attracts your attention. There are many possibilities and your involvement is the limit.
