Grant Thornton LLP becomes Doane Grant Thornton LLP

Celebrating our legacy. Helping our colleagues, clients, and communities create theirs.  

Toronto, ON (October 1, 2024)—Grant Thornton LLP Canada is now Doane Grant Thornton LLP—one of Canada’s leading assurance, tax, and business advisory Firms. We made this change to our name because of the importance we place on our presence in communities across Canada, combined with the power of being a member of Grant Thornton International’s global network of resources. By reintroducing Doane—the Firm’s founding partner— to our name, we honour our Canadian roots and the values that have driven our success for 85-years, while paving a path to make even stronger contributions to the businesses we support and the communities we live and work in.  

As a purpose-driven Firm, we celebrate our legacy through our impact and contributions to our clients, colleagues, and communities. Doane Grant Thornton represents a coast-to-coast network of more than 3,000 colleagues based in communities across Canada, committed to developing meaningful relationships built on trust, loyalty, and great service. Clients will continue to have access to assurance, accounting, tax, and advisory services from people like them: dedicated to growing, investing in, and contributing to a sustainable economy and vibrant communities. ​We develop clear, personalized solutions so you can make the decisions required to help your business today while building your legacy for tomorrow. 

“Building a legacy isn’t just about the work we do—it’s about the people, the values, and the impact we leave behind,” says Kevin Ladner, CEO and Executive Partner, Doane Grant Thornton. “Doane Grant Thornton is more than just a new name. It’s our commitment to helping Canadian businesses reach their highest potential; it’s our dedication to supporting the communities in which we live and work; and it’s a promise to help our colleagues succeed in their unique career journeys.”

Doane Grant Thornton reflects our evolution and future vision, but it doesn't change our commitment helping Canadian businesses grow, transition, and thrive.
