YOUR OPPORTUNITY
About the team
Tax is fundamentally a complex area for businesses to navigate. Our Corporate Tax team provide tailored advice and insights for every aspect of the corporate tax process, helping our clients to manage business-specific tax challenges such as tax audits, international tax issues, corporate governance obligations, and mergers and acquisitions, including due diligence and deal structuring.
The Grant Thornton Financial Services practice assists clients in staying ahead of change in this rapidly evolving environment, with regulatory change impacting every part of the sector: with governance, system, performance and conduct all under the spotlight.
This is a genuinely caring, supportive team which will value your individual contribution: where your capability will not only be recognised and rewarded, but also nurtured throughout your career milestones. The Partners are committed to and invested in your ongoing development, to build technical compliance and advisory skills as well as non-technical skills such as leadership, management and presentation.
- Opportunity to work closely and directly with Partners from day one
- Regular tax training through internal and external training platforms
- Day-to-day opportunities for 'hands-on' involvement with clients, with continuous mentoring and support from the team

- Assisting with business development initiatives and proposals
- Preparing for and attending meetings with clients
The budgeted remuneration range for this role is $80,000 to $115,000, inclusive of superannuation and commensurate with skills and experience.
This is a 'pure' Corporate Tax role suited to a driven, experienced tax professional who is eager to accelerate their career within a rewarding team environment. Approaching problems with a positive attitude and solutions focus, you are excited by the prospect of collaborating with corporate clients and guiding them through the process from start to finish.
