Grant Thornton Ukraine

What Grant Thornton Ukraine does

Grant Thornton Ukraine is a Kyiv-based professional services firm operating as a member of the Grant Thornton International Ltd (GTIL) global network, providing integrated audit, tax and transfer pricing, advisory (including M&A, operational consulting, risk management, forensic, and ESG), outsourcing, legal, and German Desk services. The firm was established in Ukraine in 2000 and operates from two Kyiv offices (headquarters at 60 Sichovykh Striltsiv Street and a German Desk office on Kyrylivska Street) plus a secondary office in Lviv, serving clients across Ukraine and cross-border mandates flowing through the global network. As of the input data, the firm employs 65 professionals, including 25+ certified auditors credentialed by the Audit Chamber of Ukraine, plus partners holding ACCA, CPA (AICPA), CIA, and ICAEW qualifications, with several partners drawn from Arthur Andersen, KPMG, PwC, and Baker Tilly.

The service delivery model is engagement-based, with fees quoted per project scope, complexity, and client requirements, and is supported by network-level technology infrastructure including the Leap cloud platform for real-time audit transparency, the Easy Share client portal for secure document exchange, and a multi-layered cybersecurity program (Common Security Platform, Regional Cyber Hubs, and martial-law-era enhancements). The firm is registered in Ukrainian audit registries including the section authorizing mandatory audits of public interest entities, passed the network GTAR quality assessment for 2022-2024, and was recognized by the State Tax Service of Ukraine as a high voluntary tax compliance taxpayer in November 2025. Customer segments include Top 50 Ukrainian public companies, private-sector enterprises, state-owned and communal enterprises, non-profits, and German-speaking (DACH) family businesses and multinationals operating in Ukraine, with sector exposure spanning energy, oil & gas, aerospace, defense, transport, agriculture, manufacturing, IT, and hospitality.

Revenue is generated through six core streams — audit, tax and transfer pricing, advisory, outsourcing (managed services), legal, and sustainability/ESG — distributed via direct enterprise engagement at the Kyiv and Lviv offices and through cross-border referrals via the GTIL network spanning 150 countries. In 2019 the firm integrated the Interbilanz Ukraine Group of Companies to seed its German Desk, and in 2024 it joined the Grant Thornton EU Services (GT EUS) joint venture to access European Union institutional mandates. The firm competes against Big 4 networks and other mid-tier international and local firms in the Ukrainian audit, tax, and advisory market, and differentiates through its combination of global network resources, locally partner-owned governance, and Big 4-trained partner bench.
