Grant Thornton to recruit 250 financial services staff

Applicants with language skills as well as backgrounds in finance will be recruited by Grant Thornton following its pledge to create 250 jobs in Dublin over the next 18 months.

The financial services firm announced it would be targeting what it called “high-calibre professionals with practice and industry backgrounds”, many of whom will be based in a new centre. However, graduates with language skills will also be keenly sought.

Grant Thornton said its new facility would assist organisations in financial reporting obligations in multiple countries that required bilingual documents.
