Accountants don’t just sit at a desk and crunch numbers all day. Well yes, that is the main part of their job, but that doesn’t mean that accounting is as boring as you think it is. 

George Vella, who has dedicated the past 25 years of his life to accounting, says that his career has allowed him to travel all over the world. He recounts how he had the amazing opportunity to work in state-of-the-art offices all across Europe and the United States while handling multimillion Euro bids for humongous clients. 

Having been a partner at Grant Thornton for the majority of his career, Vella, together with the company, is extending his hand to the next generation of accountants. 

At Grant Thornton, they love to help students grow from the little seedlings they are and flower into who they could be. No matter if you’re thinking about studying accounts or have already started your journey – Grant Thornton offers you guidance on your next step. 

Offering both the ACCA programme and an accounting internship you are spoilt for choice when it comes to picking your career path.

The word internship might sound a bit underwhelming, but Grant Thornton promise you that you would be given meaningful work, and not just become the coffee collector or the dedicated document shredder. 

You will get the opportunity to gain some truly valuable hands-on experience. Be prepared to expand your knowledge not just on accounting, but also in other areas of the firm, together with some essential life skills. 

Friendly environment? Check. Modern offices? Check. A paid internship? Check!
