WHO WE ARE

You know those big cities that still feel like small towns? Where everyone’s friendly and helps each other out? That’s like Doane Grant Thornton. Except here we’re all professionals and there isn’t a mayor or a general store. What we’re trying to say is that we’re a large and growing professional services firm that still feels like a community. We employ over 3000 people across Canada, and we truly care about our colleagues, our clients and the communities where we work and live. That’s what’s most important to us. We’re building a thriving organization that’s purpose driven and still want to remember what your favourite milkshake flavour is.

OUR SPECIAL CULTURE SHINES THROUGH WHEN WE HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO CONNECT IN PERSON. THAT’S WHY WE’RE WORKING IN A MODEL WHERE TEAMS ARE REQUIRED TO BE TOGETHER IN THE OFFICE 4 DAYS PER WEEK.
