Who we are
Do you know those big cities that still feel like small towns? Where everyone’s friendly and helps each other out? That’s like Grant Thornton. Except here, we’re all professionals, and there isn’t a mayor or a general store. We’re trying to say that we’re a large and growing professional services firm that still feels like a community. We employ over 2500 people across Canada, and we genuinely care about our colleagues, our clients, and the communities where we work and live. That’s what’s most important to us. We’re building a purpose-driven thriving organization and still want to remember what your favorite milkshake flavor is. As a Receptionist, your responsibilities will include:
- Receive and welcome clients/visitors into our office in a friendly and courteous manner
- Answer and direct telephone inquires
- Maintain and coordinate schedules for internal meeting spaces
- Schedule and coordinate appointments and meetings
- Receive and issue receipts for in-person client payments
- Receive and distribute emails, faxes and couriers accordingly
- Maintain contact database and assist with mail-outs
- Maintenance of client filing system
- Administrative tasks (i.e., preparing reports, letters, forms, etc.)
- General ad hoc administrative tasks such as data entry and typing various documents
