About The Position
Grant Thornton is building a world-class Finance & Accounting organization to power decisions, performance, and growth across an increasingly global business. As Associate Director, FP&A Lead for North America, you will own the U.S. and Americas performance view — spanning budgeting, performance management, and day-to-day decision support — and partner with the Head of FP&A on global consolidated performance, budgeting, and rolling forecasts across all countries and service lines. A defining priority is leading the FP&A integration of newly joined platform entities — Brazil, Puerto Rico, and Cayman — onto standard processes, reporting, and performance frameworks. You will also deliver board and investor materials and continuously raise the bar on the reliability and speed of enterprise reporting. This is a high-visibility role with direct exposure to the CFO, Head of FP&A, Board, and investors.
