Grant Thornton Australia is one of the world's leading independently-owned and managed accounting, advisory and consulting firms.

Our culture is underpinned by a commitment to our clients, people and communities, and our promise to ‘Reach for Remarkable’ by providing proven expertise, principled execution, and personalised experience.

In Australia, we’re proud to support the careers of over 1,500 remarkable people. With six offices nationally and partner firms in more than 145 markets, wherever you want to go, we can take you there.

About this role

We are looking for experienced financial modellers to join our Financial Modelling team as a Senior Associate or Manager. This role can be based from Melbourne or Sydney.

As part of a collaborative, sociable team of well-regarded professionals, you will advise and support on all aspects of business modelling and analysis on a broad range of engagements, enabling our clients to make informed decisions.

Your client group will include a diverse range of blue-chip organisations, including private equity firms, leading infrastructure funds, mid-size corporates and the public sector. High live deal flow means that our team members can also get involved in other aspects of transactions where desired, supporting our mergers and acquisitions, debt and project finance teams.

In return, we can offer significant growth potential, enjoying the benefits of working within a small, close-knit team while still being part of a larger international firm – with scope to build experience outside of your core remit, as well as travel opportunities both within Australia and overseas.

Key responsibilities

- Full carriage of your own matters from start to finish, supporting clients throughout the decision-making journey using your commercial acumen and technical skills
- Develop and/or lead the construction and review of sophisticated financial models for analysis, transaction structuring and finance raising
- Develop financial feasibility studies and financial and commercial investment cases, providing general advice to private and public sector clients
- Understand client requirements, map key processes, design and build financial models, and deliver final output

Skills and experience

You have a passion for applying your knowledge of financial analysis to help business leaders make data-driven decisions. With a customer-centric, outcome-focused approach and keen commercial acumen, you can guide clients through the modelling process, finding practical solutions to challenges and managing expectations, so that stakeholders clearly understand and tangibly benefit from the results.

- University degree in a related discipline, such as Business/Commerce, Accounting or Finance and/or relevant professional qualification(s)
- Experience building, maintaining and reviewing financial models in a commercial setting
- Credible track record of structured finance transactions (project finance experience desirable)
- Strong interest in business development and client engagement
- Strong Microsoft Excel skills, as well as competency in other Microsoft Office software

If you’re interested in this role but don’t feel that you match every single one of our requirements, we would still love to hear from you and explore the unique skillset and attributes that you can bring to the team.

At Grant Thornton we do things differently because we understand that when you strive for better and care about what you do remarkable things are possible. We’re a dynamic and authentic mix of backgrounds, perspectives and ways of thinking. We’re driven by our shared purpose – we care for our people, clients and communities and support them to thrive.

With us, you’ll be exposed to challenging and rewarding opportunities – building your confidence and capabilities at every step. You’ll be supported, motivated and inspired by a team of passionate and caring collaborators and leaders. You’ll be empowered to build a career path that’s tailored to you and encouraged to make a meaningful difference. And we’ll make sure the excellence you deliver and the impact you make is always seen, felt and celebrated.
