Grant Thornton LLP, a leading Canadian assurance, tax and advisory firm, marks the celebration of its new Kitchener-Waterloo office on May 26 with an Open House event from 4 – 7 p.m.

Toronto, ON - May 9, 2016

The firm and its people bring strong roots within the Kitchener-Waterloo business community and everyone is thrilled to have the office located in the historic Tannery District.

This office is expected to be a contemporary hub where business professionals can meet, connect and access expert advice, with a service offering that includes audit, tax and advisory.
