Interim Finance & Sustainability Reporting Consultant

Who we are

At Grant Thornton we’re building something bold. We’re doing things differently - looking to the future, driving ambitious growth and pioneering positive change in our industry. Providing audit, tax and advisory services, we empower clients through strategic insight, curiosity, and genuine partnership. And we empower our people with real opportunity. Our journey from great to exceptional is well underway. With significant investment behind us and a clear strategy for growth, there’s real momentum.

Our Agile Talent Community (ATC) brings together experienced contract professionals who want choice without losing connection. You work where you add the most value, alongside teams who treat you as a partner rather than a placeholder.

Joining us in CFO Solutions

Our CFO solutions team was established to help our clients overcome significant challenges, where there could be a potential knowledge/skillset gap or lack of resources. They work directly with Finance teams to help them deliver business critical projects. These can range from more simple issues e.g. year end accounting, to working with firms going through more complex issues e.g. preparing for new sustainability reporting regulations, IPOs and M&A. The CFO solutions team sits within our Core Advisory division and works closely with a range of clients across different industry sectors.

Joining the Agile Talent Community as an Interim Finance & Sustainability Reporting Consultant, you will have the freedom to work on projects that you choose, whether full or part-time within CFO Solutions and support our clients and internal teams on short to medium-term assignments.

Skills we are looking for:

• Fully qualified chartered accountant (ACA, ICAS, CA, ACCA, CIPFA or similar) with post qualification experience.


• Sustainability reporting experience and knowledge of global sustainability reporting standards and frameworks such as UK SRS, ESRS, TCFD, TNFD, GRI, GHG Protocol.


• Strong communication and stakeholder management skills, including experience engaging with senior client stakeholders through facilitated workshops.


• Experience in delivering Materiality Assessments for large and complex organisations.


• Ability to translate sustainability information into financial insights, supporting finance teams in integrating sustainability into statutory reporting and wider financial processes.


• Experience of sustainability strategy design; linking materiality, to policy to metrics, KPIs and targets.

Why Consultants choose the ATC

• Work that moves you forward


• When a project fits your skills, we’ll get in touch, but you choose whether it’s right for you. That means working on engagements that genuinely build your portfolio and expand your expertise.


• The freedom of contracting without the hidden admin


• You’re not left to navigate the freelance world alone. Our Agile Talent team helps you understand freelance regulation and connects you with people who broaden your thinking through our teams and clients.


• Community you can actually feel


• Connection shouldn’t disappear just because you’re contracting. From market insights to wellbeing sessions to networking events, you’ll be part of a community designed to make the independent path less isolated and more impactful.

Our open and accessible culture means you’ll interact with leaders who are interested in you and everything you bring to our firm. The things that set you apart, we value them. That’s why we give you the freedom to bring your whole self to work and pursue your passions inside and outside of work.
