“Shortly after obtaining my master’s degree in Finance & Risk Management, COVID hit. Despite sending out countless applications, I wasn’t getting any responses. Initially, I wasn’t really drawn to audit roles, because my girlfriend was already in that field and I wanted to do something different. Silly, I know. Eventually, I did expand my search to audit roles, which led me to an interview at Grant Thornton with audit partners Gunther and Elie. I really enjoyed our conversation and the overall atmosphere. Everything clicked, and when they offered me the role, I was able to start on very short notice.”
“We had a ‘Starters’ Day’ with everyone who had joined that year, so you could really get to know your colleagues right away. The evening reception was a bit unusual – with masks, social distancing and mandatory COVID tests – but it was still a lot of fun. I started at the Ghent office with two other new hires, and I quickly built strong connections with them, both personally and professionally. They’ve since moved on to other opportunities, but we became good friends, and I still hear from them every week.”
“Your individuality and personal development are truly valued here.”
Jens Dumont Audit Supervisor, Grant Thornton
“No two days are the same, which keeps things interesting. We work in small teams with plenty of interaction with clients. While we work hard, there’s always room for laughter, and the team atmosphere is one of our biggest assets. We genuinely stick together, organize fun activities (I’ve already mixed cocktails for them!), and talk about literally everything. There’s a real sense of openness and the freedom to be yourself.”
