There are many benefits of being part of Grant Thornton International, working with a global and diverse team in a virtual setting is just one of them. We pride ourselves on our inclusive culture and believe it's one of our most valuable assets.

We also recognise the importance of time off at Grant Thornton International. Taking time away can lead to improved wellbeing and better productivity, which is why we don’t cap your leave. So if you need to take that extra Friday off (and Monday too), no problem.

We believe work is no longer a location, it is what we do. This should help all of us deliver our best work, while achieving the right balance in our lives. We want to build a culture of virtual inclusivity. One where all our people have the ability to choose what works best for them but also provides our people the best shared working experience utilising the digital tools we have available. GTIL will provide individuals with the necessary support and equipment to work effectively from home. We also have a collaborative space to offer should you prefer working outside of your home.
