Grant Thornton Vietnam

What Grant Thornton Vietnam does

Grant Thornton Vietnam operates as a member firm of Grant Thornton International Ltd (GTIL), a non-practicing international umbrella entity that coordinates a network of independent audit, tax, and advisory firms across 140+ countries. Established in 1993 and headquartered in Hanoi with a second office in Ho Chi Minh City, the firm delivers an integrated portfolio of Audit and Assurance Services (financial audits, IFRS advisory), Tax Services (corporate and personal tax, transfer pricing, tax due diligence, customs and international trade), Advisory Services (business risk, transaction advisory, valuation, business consulting), and Business Process Solutions / Outsourcing (accounting, payroll, tax compliance, management accounting). It additionally maintains dedicated Japan, Korea, and China Desks to serve North Asian FDI clients, offers International Corporate Structuring Services (offshore establishment, private trust advisory), and runs a Technology Solutions Consulting practice covering ERP implementation (including SAP Business One), digital transformation, and AI integration advisory.

The firm's go-to-market is relationship-driven and sales-led: engagements are consultative, quote-based, and tailored per client requirement, distributed through direct partner-led engagement rather than through third-party channels. Customer segments span Foreign-Invested Enterprises, local Vietnamese businesses (private and state-owned), multinational corporations, and North-Asian investors reached via the country desks. Marketing relies on thought-leadership content (M&A Outlook, Women in Business, tax newsletters, regulatory briefs on Circular 99/2025, Decree 57/2026, Decree 90), seminars/webinars, newsletters, and CSR/community events. Pricing is not publicly disclosed.

Underlying technology consists of standard professional-services tooling plus SAP Business One ERP for clients of the Technology Solutions practice; there are no disclosed proprietary platforms, AI models, or patents. The Vietnam entity (Grant Thornton (Vietnam) Limited) is a private limited company under local management led by Chairman and CEO Nguyen Chi Trung, with founder Kenneth Atkinson OBE as Senior Board Adviser, a roster of senior partners across Audit, Tax, Advisory, and BPS lines, and directors staffing the country desks and Business Development / International Liaison. Trademarks including the Grant Thornton name, Mobius symbol, and 'Instinct for Growth' remain the property of GTIL.
