Grant Thornton has launched a new Flexible People Solutions service offering businesses flexible talent solutions with experienced professionals available for short and medium-term periods.

The firm said its Flexible People Solutions offering comes at a time when businesses across many industries are struggling to access talent in a post-Covid and full employment landscape.

The aim is to provide a pool of experienced talent that can quickly embed into team structures.

The initiative taps into a trend for many professionals seeking more flexible project-based roles, the firm stated.

The areas of expertise available include budgeting and forecasting, compliance and financial statement preparation, mergers and acquisitions integration, project management, and technical accounting.

Fergus Condon, head of Financial Accounting and Advisory Services, commented: “The workforce is evolving and changing at a much faster pace than we have seen in decades, and Grant Thornton’s new Flexible People Solutions service is designed to respond to this.

“Our clients tell us they need people for their business without the commitment of hiring a full-time employee and this does exactly that. It offers experienced people across a range of levels from newly qualified professionals to directors who will adapt quickly using their expertise to fulfil the client’s need.

“There is a lot of uncertainty out there in terms of the economy, changing environments, rising costs, and inflation, and so flexibility and adaptability are required.”

The Grant Thornton International Business Report earlier this year found that almost half of businesses in Ireland report access to talent as a constraint to growth.
