Six positions at Hong Kong-based accounting firm Grant Thornton Jingdu Tianhua are currently vacant in assurance, tax and advisory services, and the company is looking to hire at least 50 more staff over the coming year, in line with its global growth plan.
As its motto - 'One firm, one China' - highlights, the company is a fully integrated part of Grant Thornton China, with 2,400 people in 15 offices across the mainland and in Hong Kong.
Building on the vast opportunities offered by the mainland, the firm expects further growth this year, and is looking for candidates who fit in with its values of global collaboration, leadership, a culture of excellence, acting with agility, having deep respect for people and taking responsibility for one's actions.
'Our firm looks for people who are earnest, hardworking, passionate about learning and enthusiastic about making a difference,' says Kelvin Kwong, Grant Thornton Jingdu Tianhua's staff partner.
'Good team players with open mindsets are highly valued by our management and staff,' he adds. 'We believe that teamwork and close-knit communication is important in conquering obstacles at work.'
The firm has a wide scope of clients with great global exposure. Therefore, communication skills are important and candidates should be able to speak and write in English, Cantonese and Putonghua. 'We are looking for candidates with good communication, interpersonal, organisational and leadership skills,' Kwong says.
Grant Thornton International has a well-organised training programme, including induction and a week-long core technical course arranged for newcomers, depending on their seniority and line of business.
