Who we are

You know those big cities that still feel like small towns? Where everyone's friendly and helps each other out? That's like Doane Grant Thornton. Except here we're all professionals and there isn't a mayor or a general store. What we're trying to say is that we're a large and growing professional services firm that still feels like a community. We employ about 3000 people across Canada, and we truly 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 thriving organization that's purpose driven and still want to remember what your favourite milkshake flavour is.

As a Receptionist your responsibilities will include:

Answer calls professionally using our software-based phone system and transfer callers to the correct colleague. Greet every guest warmly and make them feel welcome. Accept and securely process client payments, including cheques and debit/credit cards. Always keep the reception and client-facing spaces tidy and presentable. Handle meeting room bookings and catering needs, including setting up and cleaning up for meetings and events. Coordinate mail, faxes, and courier deliveries and pickups, which include signing for items and completing necessary documentation like waybills. Process invoices for the Nova Scotia offices, covering office supplies, couriers, taxi chits, catering, event venues, offsite storage, etc. by coding and submitting them for payment. Assist with preparing meeting materials, such as printing presentations and handouts as needed. Create, revise, and format letters, reports, presentations, and other documents using MS Office tools (Word, Excel, PowerPoint, etc.) as required. Prepare and monitor expense claims and submissions. Carry out additional administrative tasks to support all Nova Scotia locations as necessary.
