BUSINESS advisory firm Grant Thornton has welcomed 22 new graduates to its Belfast office as part of an expansion to meet increased demand across its audit, tax and advisory departments.

Northern Ireland managing partner Richard Gillan said: “Our latest appointees will further enhance our reputation as a firm which thinks outside the box to provide exceptional service and advice to our clients.”

The graduates have joined Grant Thornton’s three-year training programme, designed to provide the skills and experience necessary to gain the required industry qualifications and play their part within a dynamic, global firm.

The firm has continued to expand its Belfast office significantly in recent months as part of its post-pandemic strategy for exponential growth.

Last year, it announced the recruitment of more than 50 new staff across all departments, while just last month, it unveiled the appointments of seven new directors.

Richard added: “As our business continues to expand in Northern Ireland and further afield, we remain committed to investing the time and resources required to ensure the personal and professional development of each employee.

“We believe that fostering an organisational culture which places people at its centre is a key contributor towards our future success, and Grant Thornton is dedicated to continuing to provide unrivalled professional advice and added value to the clients we serve.”
