Company Description
Grant Thornton Uganda is one of the leading certified public accounting and business advisory firms in the country. The firm dates back to 1939, when it was originally established as A.M. Shah & Sons, giving it more than 80 years of institutional roots in the East African professional services market. Today, it operates as a member firm of Grant Thornton International, a global network spanning over 150 countries. Led by Managing Partner Jasmine Shah, the Ugandan practice operates two main offices: its primary headquarters in the capital city of Kampala and a strategic branch in Jinja.
The firm employs a robust team of over 150 accounting, tax, and business consulting professionals serving more than 500 dynamic clients across the private, public, and NGO sectors. A primary differentiator for the firm is its partner-led operating model, which ensures that senior partners, directors, and managers dedicate roughly 25% of assignment time directly to client engagements. This structural design allows the firm to move away from rigid, traditional auditing pipelines toward a collaborative format centered on clear, personalized business solutions.
Grant Thornton Uganda’s expansive portfolio covers three core service lines: Assurance, Tax, and Advisory. Beyond corporate audit and risk compliance, their specialized divisions offer expertise in transfer pricing, cybersecurity, forensic investigations, corporate governance, and transaction advisory services. Additionally, the firm serves as an important local economic commentator, routinely publishing policy and compliance summaries like the Uganda Budget Booklet to guide businesses through evolving national regulatory environments.
Culturally and socially, the firm is anchored by the global network’s CLEARR values (Collaboration, Leadership, Excellence, Agility, Respect, and Responsibility). This professional culture extends heavily into regional corporate social responsibility initiatives, particularly within the education sector. Notably, the company has driven long-term investments in educational infrastructure, including multi-billion shilling developments featuring new classroom blocks and dedicated science laboratories at institutions like Namulena Secondary School in Zirobwe.
