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.
With nearly 3,000 colleagues across 70 offices in Canada, we’re committed to helping our clients, colleagues, and communities thrive.
At Doane Grant Thornton, we do more than just business—we build lasting relationships and build up local communities. Our purpose is rooted in a deep commitment to the people we serve and the places we call home.
From St. John’s to Victoria, we’re deeply connected to the people, industries, and communities that make Canada thrive.
We’re proud to support Canadian businesses through every stage of their journey. Whether navigating complex challenges or seizing new opportunities, we bring local insight, national strength, and global reach to help our clients grow, transition, and thrive with confidence. We do this while delivering an exceptional client experience—one that’s built on deep relationships, responsive service, and a genuine understanding of what matters most. Our approach is personal, proactive, and always grounded in integrity, ensuring that every interaction adds value and builds trust.
Our culture isn’t just something we talk about—it’s something we live every day. Rooted in belonging, coaching, and professional development, it’s what drives our people to lead with purpose, embrace change, and deliver excellence.
What makes Doane Grant Thornton a Great Place to Work™ (18 years and counting) is our unwavering commitment to creating a culture of belonging through authentic connection and trust.
We foster an environment where collaboration, innovation, and well-being are part of everyday life, and where diverse perspectives are celebrated. We build an inclusive workplace by celebrating who we are and sharing the experiences that shape each one of us. This people-first mindset reflects our respect for every individual and our shared commitment to making a meaningful impact on our clients, communities, and one another.
Our mission is to continue to strengthen our culture of belonging, building an inclusive community where individual differences are valued and that everyone has equitable access to opportunities for growth and development.
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.
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.
