What we have to say
Grant Thornton has been the fastest growing firm in Ireland over the past number of years. We plan to continue growing and developing the business over the coming years through our Ambition 2015 strategy, which clearly sets out our goals for several years ahead. Our strategy is one of focused growth, strengthening our advisory services and becoming a strong influencer in our international network.
Paul McCann
Managing partner
"We plan to achieve these goals by increasing our share of the public interest market and retaining a pre-eminent position among medium and larger privately held business clients. We also plan to continue to develop the specialised service lines and sectors, e.g. Credit Unions, Food Sector, Shared Services, Forensics, Financial Services. Our main vision for the year ahead is to establish and maintain a defendable market position in certain specific areas.
Leveraging the quality and consistency of our network will continue to be key to our success in attracting and servicing new clients. Another key goal is to provide every opportunity for our people to achieve their potential. Our people are the backbone of Grant Thornton, and we want to continue to encourage everyone to grow to the best of their ability."
