Our team comprises of world class business advisors whom our clients interact with.

In Uganda, the Company has been operating since 1939 and has advanced from a traditional audit, accounting and tax practice and now offers a broad range of specialist advisory services to privately held businesses, public interest entities and the public sector.

With a team of over 145 people, we are the among the largest professional services firms in Uganda offering a wide range of business advisory services in addition to audit, tax, and business process solutions.

Our teams have more experience built into them because of a tighter leverage model than our competition. Specifically, our operating model ensures that approximately 25% of our assignment engagement time is provided by experienced partners, directors, and managers. Clients recognize this difference through our understanding of their Organization and ability to bring meaningful ideas to address specific needs.

Our Culture

So many things unite us as Grant Thornton, one global network.

These include our global CLEARR values, (Collaboration, Leadership, Excellence, Agility, Respect and Responsibility), our friendly attitude at work, our determination to Go Beyond for our clients and our inclusive approach as a community, as firms and as colleagues. The care and respect we show in everything we do connects us all. It all adds up to create our distinctive international network culture, which is how we work together across borders. It is the shared CLEARR values, belief systems, agreed upon attitudes and the set of assumptions that people in a member firm and the broader Grant Thornton global community share.

Wherever we are in the world, our international culture sets us apart and helps us build a network where everyone knows they are welcome and are included. It contributes to our success and fuels our sustainable growth by creating a seamless experience for our people and our clients.

Local expertise, global mindset

To achieve our vision to become the most valued network in the profession, we need people with a global mindset. A global mindset is about bringing the benefit of our shared, global knowledge, experience and understanding to benefit every client – domestic or international. A global mindset focused on intentional collaboration and sincere inclusivity is essential for supporting our focus on growing our international business and the overall long-term sustainable growth of Grant Thornton

One charter. One culture. Four ways to behave.

The care that underpins our culture is strongest when we do these four things:

  • Demonstrate respect for all.
  • Collaborate widely.
  • Deliver high quality and excellence.
  • Include others.
