With previous experience in Salary Packaging and Novated Leasing for a sustainable start-up, Emma was able to hit the ground running at Grant Thornton.
Her day-to-day responsibilities include meetings, fieldwork, extensive document analysis and report writing. “I have been given a few projects where I am the only Associate, so I have the opportunity to work on every facet of a project, from introductory meetings to the fieldwork, document analysis, to drafting the final report for my manager to review and finalise. I like the variety of tasks assigned to me, and the opportunity to learn in every area of the service line,” Emma says. Outside the responsibilities of her consulting role, Emma has been given the opportunity to participate in a ‘think tank’ exercise on how Grant Thornton can integrate sustainability into service offerings too.
How do you feel supported at Grant Thornton? “We are each assigned a People Manager who you can go to for anything – career progression advice, everyday work questions or even just a chat. We are also assigned an Associate buddy, who has been there a bit longer than yourself, who you can go to for the smaller things, such as how to enter a timesheet or where to go for lunch,” says Emma.
What do you love most about your job? “I love the people and the culture! I have met some great and interesting people in my time at Grant Thornton. In terms of my everyday role, I love the many opportunities to be challenged, and to challenge others to solve problems and create practical, valuable solutions and recommendations to our clients,” Emma says.
