Goncalo Freitas

Thornhill

Partner, Independent Business Group

I bring together financial insight and strategic thinking to help business owners make informed, confident decisions and plan for what's ahead. With experience across finance, valuation, assurance and management consulting, I work with clients to understand their financial position, identify opportunities, and develop practical strategies that support long-term stability and growth.

My work spans corporate financing, financial planning, banking covenant monitoring, complex financial projections, and external CFO services. I also have experience supporting transactions, financial analysis, tax planning, and corporate structuring. Whether a business is looking to scale, optimize cash flow, secure financing, or strengthen its financial position, I take the time to understand my clients' broader objectives and provide advice tailored to their needs.

I also lead assurance engagements for privately held businesses across a range of industries, including professional services, real estate and construction, manufacturing, technology, and retail and consumer businesses. My background across assurance, tax, and advisory services allows me to take a holistic view of my clients' needs and provide practical guidance that supports their long-term success.

Before joining Doane Grant Thornton, I was a Partner at another public accounting firm. Alongside my client work, I played an active role in mentoring junior professionals, strengthening internal processes and contributing to the development of the next generation of advisors.

Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my wife, daughter, and our dog. I'm a lifelong car enthusiast and enjoy travelling, discovering new restaurants, and attending live music performances.
