General information
SNG Grant Thornton is a member of Grant Thornton International.

Grant Thornton International is one of the world’s leading organisation of accounting and consulting firms providing assurance, tax and specialist business advice. Services are delivered nationally by the member and correspondent firms of Grant Thornton International, a network of independent firms throughout the world. Grant Thornton International is a non-practicing, non-trading international umbrella organisation and does not deliver services in its own name.

Each member firm in Grant Thornton International is a separate independent national firm. These firms are not members of one international partnership or otherwise legal partners with each other, nor is any firm responsible for the services or activities of any other. Each firm governs itself and handles its administrative matters on a local basis. Although many of the firms now carry the Grant Thornton name, either exclusively or in their national practice names, there is no common ownership among the firms or by Grant Thornton International. The firms are joined by a common professional vision, are specially focused on entrepreneur, owner-managed business and share a commitment to providing high quality service to their clients when they do business outside their home country.
