Grant Thornton Singapore

What Grant Thornton Singapore does

Grant Thornton Singapore Private Limited is a mid-market professional services firm incorporated in Singapore and operating as a member firm of the Grant Thornton International Ltd (GTIL) network. Established in 2015 and headquartered at Asia Square Tower 1 in Singapore's Marina Bay financial district, the firm employs between 251 and 500 people and delivers a comprehensive suite of audit, tax, advisory and business process outsourcing services. Its client base spans dynamic mid-market businesses, privately owned companies, publicly listed entities, and public sector organisations across Southeast Asia, with cross-border reach accessed through the global Grant Thornton network of over 73,000 professionals across 150 markets.

The firm's service portfolio is organised across multiple specialised lines: Audit & Assurance, Tax (corporate tax compliance, tax governance, GST, transfer pricing, employer solutions and private client services), Advisory (business risk, forensic advisory, restructuring and insolvency, CFO advisory, deals advisory, valuations, ESG and sustainability, and cyber), and Business Process Outsourcing (managed services, payroll, managed accounting and bookkeeping). Recent product additions include Crypto Accounting Advisory, IFRS 18 advisory, Expected Credit Loss modelling, Finance Transformation, CFO as a Service, and Funds Managed Services, indicating deliberate deepening of the CFO Advisory menu. The firm partners with Workiva for integrated ESG and financial reporting platforms and with ODE Consulting for cross-border cultural due diligence in M&A.

The business model is a partner-led, relationship-based professional services model with fees generated on an engagement basis — scope, complexity and client requirements determine pricing, which is not publicly disclosed. Distribution is through direct client engagement by partners and teams in Singapore, supplemented by referrals from the global Grant Thornton network for cross-border mandates. Demand generation is supported by an active thought-leadership programme, including Singapore Budget commentary, IFRS and ESG publications, webinars and industry seminars. Senior leadership was substantially refreshed in 2024–2026, with Belinda Tan appointed CEO in April 2024, Paresh Jotangia as Head of Advisory in May 2024, G Arull as Head of Audit & Assurance in January 2025, and a new Head of Forensic Advisory taking office in January 2026.
