Joining audit at Grant Thornton: Ana Rusu’s career journey

I joined the Audit team at Grant Thornton in autumn 2021, after graduating in Business and Management from TU Dublin as a mature student. From the beginning, the experience has been rewarding.

The team is diverse, and no two days or clients are the same. Over the past year, I’ve worked with clients across motor, pharma, logistics and healthcare, gaining invaluable exposure and experience.

My daily routine in audit: From coffee to client work

My day starts with coffee or tea at the Dockers in GTHQ, catching up with colleagues and setting a positive tone. I then respond to emails, prioritise tasks, prepare for meetings and carry out audit work.

Support is always available—whether from fellow trainees, managers, directors or partners. The open-plan office encourages collaboration and makes it easy to seek help.

Why Grant Thornton stands out: Trust and team support

At Grant Thornton, I’m trusted with responsibilities and encouraged by seniors and managers who believe in my professionalism and competence. I have the knowledge and support to deliver excellent results. The culture is uplifting and collaborative, and I feel empowered to grow.

Audit is fun too: Social events and great people

After a year here, I can confidently say that a career in audit at Grant Thornton is also fun. The people make all the difference. Social events help us connect, enjoy ourselves and build relationships across the firm. I’m excited about what lies ahead.
