We have been doing this for many years in the with a festive award gala. Yet again, the team has spoken and made the choice. We are pleased to bring you Grant Thornton Baltic's "Best of the 2022" with sincere comments from colleagues.
We are happy to invite you to read the hardcover book in our offices in Tallinn and Tartu. However, you can read the online version of the book here and now: Three Decades on the path of Growth – the story of Grant Thornton Baltic.
"The IT working group - a well-functioning working group, which under the leadership of Arko, has helped to put our technological puzzle pieces into one picture. Arko has consistently improved our IT processes and everything related to the IT field. At the same time, he is a warm and open communicator with a good sense of humor. There are not many companies that have so many practical IT trainings for all employees."
"Mart is well focused, shares our values and has raised Grant Thornton's brand awareness through his daily activities both as a spokesperson on various topics and by acting on the board of the Estonian Auditors Association. Mart is actively engaged in various non-company appearances (Business Day, articles, trainings, etc.), all of which add so much to building the brand's reputation. He spreads the signal that we really have the best and most successful professionals in our team. A great bearer of Grant Thornton's values, always friendly, specific and helpful. Mart is always there for the team and you can always count on him."
"Christjan is very proactive, can explain even the most complex (IT) things in simple language. Blended in very well and quickly with Grant Thornton's IT team and has adapted very well to our fast pace and volume of inquiries. He is an extremely polite and helpful colleague who also understands great humor. Always finds solutions and communicates these fast."
"Mari is really one of the most sincere people in the audit team. Mari always meets the requests of the assistants whenever possible. She is so sweet and supportive as a person. Without her, I wouldn't be working at Grant Thornton and I wouldn't contribute as much to my work as I do now. Thank you, Mari!”
"Teet is one of the best managers and colleagues, with whom it is always pleasant to communicate on both work and non-work topics. Teet values others, and also gives instructions very clearly and thoroughly, which ensures that the team has everything they need to do their job perfectly."
"Bert, I dare to say, has completed all the modules of the sworn auditor exam in a record short time in Estonia's history. Bert is always happy to help, develops himself and also wants to help to develop others."
“Ragne is really a great addition to our audit team. Cheerful, courageous and with good self-expression skills. Also, the work goes quickly in her hands, she has a good overview of the client and the state of work, and she reacts quickly. An open and pleasant communicator who finds a common language with both the client and teammates. In addition, she also organizes team events and is a pleasant companion in every way!“
"Erik, a capable young advisor who is passionate and takes on exciting projects, while also being an excellent project manager for his team (i.e. he is always available when needed and helps to find an answer to even the most ridiculous questions that may arise). Truly one of the most admirable colleagues in consulting."
"Eve has settled into the financial advisory team perfectly, is always helpful and benevolent - she can see the big picture and proactively supports the entire team as well as the managers."
“Gaily took on a great responsibility and role in leading the accounting department. She knows and is able to point out the best values of Grant Thornton Baltic and is a super nice colleague with whom you can go scouting even with your eyes closed!"
"Tatjana is incredibly conscientious and has a great interest in learning. She is loyal and a good companion to her team. She is a very dedicated and thorough colleague. She does her work with soul and heart."
"Lenel came, saw and won the hearts of the team and the clients. Beautiful, smart and good at what she does - these are the words that characterize Lenel, and the customers also have not held back from praising her."
"Deiwi is friendly, helpful and the soul of the Tartu office, who keeps everyone's spirits up and is good-natured even under heavy workload and pressure. Definitely a role model both in career and as a personality."
It was a hugely fun evening. In addition to the festive award ceremony, we all got to dress up ourselves in vintage style, put aside the work thoughts, enjoy the good tastes, listen to music and dance (our team is also very good at that).
A big virtual round of applause once again to the winners, nominees and actually to all our people, who really are simply the best!
