CHICAGO — Grant Thornton, one of America’s largest brands of professionals providing end-to-end audit, assurance, tax and advisory services, has been named to Seramount’s 2026 ‘100 Best Companies’ list for the 21st year in a row.
For more than four decades, Seramount has recognized organizations that lead with intention in advancing workplace equity and opportunity, honoring companies that go above and beyond to support employees and their families through inclusive benefits such as paid gender-neutral parental leave, backup childcare and mental health resources.
“We are proud of this designation because we have been intentional about how we evolve our workplace to meet the changing needs of our people and our profession,” said Jeanna Shapiro, Grant Thornton’s chief people & culture officer. “By listening to our people and translating those insights into meaningful benefits and experiences, we continue to shape a workplace that reflects how our teams live and work today.”
Grant Thornton provides a range of benefits and initiatives that support its people across all stages of life and career, including:
- A lifestyle spending account that provides colleagues with annual funds to support all aspects of well-being.
- Paid gender-neutral parental leave for birth, adoption or guardianship of a child.
- Flexible time off, an industry-leading benefit enhancement that allows employees to take time off as needed to meet their individual needs instead of a predetermined set of paid time off days.
- Reimbursements for adoption and surrogacy as well as comprehensive fertility treatment coverage.
- Accommodations for pregnancy or pregnancy-related conditions as well as bereavement leave.
- Covering the cost of breast milk shipping when employees are traveling for work.
- Employee assistance programs that are available for employees and immediate family members who need support services such as stress management, counseling, or access to additional care benefits.
- Access to 20 days per year of backup care through a partnership with Care.com.
- Working Parents & Allies business resource group (BRG) focuses on aligning parenting values to workplace expectations and offers best practices for successful work-life integration. The firm also supports eight additional BRGs that foster personal and professional growth and build community among teammates.
- Access to mental health and wellness providers offering science-based activities, games and meditations that help reduce stress, manage negative thoughts and build resilience and mindfulness — both at home and at work.
This milestone builds on a series of recent workplace honors for Grant Thornton in 2026, including being named one of America’s Greatest Workplaces for Entry-Level Employees by Newsweek and one of America’s Best Employers for Company Culture by Forbes. Together, these achievements highlight the firm’s continued momentum in creating an engaging, high-performing workplace.
