Grant Thornton Singapore positions itself around a simple ambition: to go beyond business as usual and help businesses realise their goals in any environment. As a member firm of Grant Thornton International Ltd (GTIL), it operates as Grant Thornton Singapore Private Limited, a separate legal entity delivering assurance, tax and advisory services locally while drawing on a global brand and network.
The firm organises its work around three broad pillars. Audit and Assurance covers everything from legally required audits to voluntary best-practice reviews, with the firm noting that 'no one audit is the same' and taking what it calls a holistic approach to delivering high-quality outcomes. Tax services combine what the firm describes as reason and instinct, built on experience and local insight, to help clients understand and manage their tax liabilities and risk in a transparent and ethical way. Advisory rounds out the offering, aimed at helping businesses navigate the complex mix of opportunities, challenges and risks that come with growth in changing local and global markets.
Beyond the three headline pillars, Grant Thornton Singapore's service list is extensive. It includes Business Process Outsourcing (covering managed services, payroll, and managed accounting and bookkeeping), Business Risk advisory, Corporate Finance, and Corporate Secretarial Services. Its CFO Advisory practice is particularly broad, spanning accounting advisory, a dedicated Crypto Accounting Advisory Service, ESG Reporting and Accounting, Expected Credit Loss advisory, Finance Transformation, Managed Accounting and Bookkeeping Services, CFO as a Service, Funds Managed Services, and IFRS 18 Advisory.
The firm also runs a Cyber practice, a Deals Advisory line covering Business Tax Advisory, Corporate Finance, Financial Due Diligence and Valuations, and a dedicated ESG and Sustainability Services practice that includes a 'Sustainability with the ARC framework' offering. Rounding things out are Forensic Advisory, Restructuring and Insolvency, and a detailed Tax practice covering Business Tax Advisory, Corporate Tax Compliance, Tax Governance, Goods and Services Tax, Transfer Pricing, Employer Solutions, and Private Client Services, plus a standalone Valuations service.
Grant Thornton Singapore publishes ongoing insights aimed at keeping clients current on regulatory and accounting developments. Recent pieces cover Singapore's Transfer Pricing Guidelines (9th Edition) and its treatment of share-based compensation, example sustainability-related financial disclosures under the first Grant Thornton International IFRS Sustainability Disclosure Standards, an 'Insights into IFRS 15' series, a look at how AI is changing tax and finance work, an overview of IFRS 18's replacement of IAS 1 ahead of its 2027 effective date, an ESOP guide for the APAC and Middle East region, and a piece on the role of valuation in mediation from the firm's valuations team.
For clients trying to find the right person to speak to, the firm's website includes a 'Meet our people' search tool, letting users search for experts by service line — including Accounting Advisory, Accounting and Outsourcing, Advisory, Assurance, Business Process Outsourcing, Country Desk Support services, and Tax — or by industry, including Hospitality & Tourism, Aviation, Consumer Products, Energy & Resources, Financial Services, Food & Beverage, Fund Management, Health Care, Industrial Products, Manufacturing, Not For Profit, Private Equity, Public Sector, Real Estate & Construction, Shipping & Logistics, and Technology. Clients can also search for a named expert directly.
Grant Thornton Singapore also positions itself as an employer, with dedicated career paths for students and graduates as well as experienced hires, alongside information on its culture, welfare and benefits, and career development. The firm describes its culture as a place where people at any career stage can grow and make a difference, with graduates and school leavers offered what it calls 'a flying start,' and experienced hires given the chance to develop their ideas with recognition from day one.
With service lines spanning traditional audit and tax work through to newer areas like ESG reporting, crypto accounting, and AI in tax, Grant Thornton Singapore presents itself as a full-service professional services firm serving businesses across a wide range of Singapore's key industries.
