our business is unique, and its needs change as it evolves. The team at Grant Thornton — one of the world’s leading independent assurance, tax and advisory firms — can work closely with you to develop a customized plan for your business’s future success. “We don’t look at our client’s solutions to come pre-packaged,” says Dan Little, managing partner of Grant Thornton’s Vancouver Island operations. “We understand how crucial it is to listen to our clients. It’s asking insightful questions and taking a collaborative approach to get those sharp insights and meaningful answers.” A trusted advisor When you work with the professionals at Grant Thornton, you’re getting more than accounting services; you are getting an advisor to help you tackle the challenges of running your business. “In us, our clients have a partner they can rely on,” says Tara Benham. “It goes deeper than just adjusting journal entries or preparing their taxes. We’re here to help guide them along and make sure they get the information and services they need to be successful.”

The right people in the right place At Grant Thornton, local and global expertise is part of the package. With the integration of the Island firms Hayes Stewart Little & Co. and LL Brougham, Grant Thornton LLP, Vancouver Island now offers a larger team of services and resources. These mergers also extend the firm’s deep roots in the Island’s communities. “We believe in being genuinely engaged and committed to our clients, colleagues and our communities,” Little says. “We focus on all three of those pillars and that’s what’s important. That’s what sets us apart.”
