Administrative Assistant

Job title: Administrative Assistant

Company: Grant Thornton

Job description: Who we are
You know those big cities that still feel like small towns? Where everyone’s friendly and helps each other out? That’s like Grant Thornton. Except here we’re all professionals and there isn’t a mayor or a general store. What we’re trying to say is that we’re a large and growing professional services firm that still feels like a community. We employ over 2500 people across Canada, and we truly care about our colleagues, our clients and the communities where we work and live. That’s what’s most important to us. We’re building a thriving organization that’s purpose driven and still want to remember what your favourite milkshake flavour is.

As an Administrative Assistant your responsibilities will include:

• Providing proficient administrative support to partners, managers, and clients
• Welcoming clients by greeting them, in person or on the telephone; answering or referring inquiries
• Proofing and finalizing financial statements and other financial documents
• Preparing proposals, engagement letters and client billings
• Managing electronic files and databases
• Expense reporting
• Scheduling and coordinating meetings and/or appointments
• Typing letters and transcription (handwritten) as requested
• Perform other administrative duties such as filing, arranging for couriers, ordering supplies, photocopying, collating, and faxing

Be Grant Thornton
If you’re a bit like us, you’re driven to connect with how others are feeling and thinking. Here we walk in others shoes before taking action. Just imagine being part of a team that puts “we before me”, where flexAbility is a mindset, and where you trust your colleagues to have your back. At Grant Thornton, you’ll work with inspiring leaders who support your development, both personally and professionally. This is a place where your insatiable curiosity enables you to think, see and hear from a variety of perspectives, a place where every day is different and having the courage to grow is part of who you are. And when all this comes together, well that’s when the magic happens!
