Why Grant Thornton
There are reasons why our firm has tripled in size over the past five years. We believe it starts with the fact that our clients enjoy a service model that can readily be distinguished from that of our larger competitors, along with the personalized service our professionals deliver. Please consider the following benefits of selecting our firm.
Personalized attention - We are committed to superior client service and frequent communication through regular meetings and phone calls. At Grant Thornton we use this level of attention, service and independent view to build and maintain long-term business relationships. We rely on our resources to attract clients; we demonstrate quality service and personalized attention to keep them.
Partners who are empowered and engaged - Our partners have the authority to make decisions, activate resources, and ensure that quality is the highest priority in every part of our service. This evolves in part from their belief that they can make a difference. This attitude carries over to the staff that is on the front-lines serving our clients and the overall result is higher efficiency and quality in our delivery of service.
A decision-making process that is efficient and inclusive - Building from the empowerment of our engagement partners, our national office resources, many of which are located in our practice offices, including Jinja, are easily accessed by the engagement team and, through the engagement team, are available to meet with the management and/or audit committee. Accessibility promotes a more efficient process and the timely resolution of difficult issues.
An operating model that is heavily weighted with experience - Our teams have more experience built into them because of a tighter leverage model than our competition. Specifically, our operating model ensures that approximately 20-25% of our audit engagement time is provided by experienced partners and managers. Clients recognize this difference through our understanding of their business and ability to bring meaningful ideas to address specific needs.
A global organization mobilized through a single point-of-contact - The engagement partner is always the first point of contact for all client needs. Wherever a client desires to conduct business, the lead partner triggers the appropriate engagement and coordination of resources from around the firm to properly address all service requirements. This means the client is in the direct line of communication at all times on every issue.
