Our leadership
Doane Grant Thornton is purpose-driven
Doane Grant Thornton LLP is a proudly Canadian accounting and business advisory firm with deep local roots and an international network. Founded more than 85 years ago in Halifax, Nova Scotia, our firm has grown into one of Canada’s most trusted professional services providers—supporting dynamic privately owned, publicly listed, and public sector organizations across the country.
We’ve always believed in the power of our local communities. That’s why in 2024, we adopted a name that honours our Canadian legacy while maintaining our connection to the Grant Thornton International network—one of the world’s leading organizations of independent assurance, tax, and advisory firms.
We’re committed to helping our clients, colleagues, and communities thrive.

Our community
Making a difference coast-to-coast
We’re deeply invested in the communities where we live and work. The Doane Grant Thornton Foundation provides financial support to causes that matter to our people, while our colleagues give back through volunteering, fundraising, and local initiatives.
The Doane Grant Thornton Foundation supports a number of national organizations doing great work across the country. While our four programs, like the Greater Purpose Program, have a local focus, national donations support organizations with Canada-wide reach and may be aligned with our Leading Inclusively strategy.
Vibrant Communities
In select locations, our Vibrant Communities program brings together local leaders and changemakers—acting as a convener, connector, and catalyst for positive change.
We believe that when communities thrive, we all do—and we’re proud to play a part in building a stronger, more connected Canada.
