Audit, Tax & Advisory Services
Audit Services
At Grant Thornton we offer more than just auditing. We offer understanding.
Experience has taught us that you cannot audit a business effectively unless you really understand it. This means not just ticking boxes, but developing a real feel for your organisation and the challenges it faces. We work in partnership with you to get to the heart of your business– understanding your vision, how you turn your ideas into profits, the risks you face and how you meet them. Only then do we apply our global audit methodology, utilising state-of–the art audit software to provide the assurance you and your shareholders need.
The Audit and Assurance Services we provide include:
- Audits of financial reports
- Reviews of financial reports
- Internal audits
- Systems and controls reviews
- Agreed upon procedure reports
- Other types of audits

Tax Services
It has been said that there are two certainties in life: death and taxes. The shifting sands of taxation law constantly challenge large and growing businesses, particularly those operating internationally.
How your business meets this challenge can have a significant affect on your bottom-line and the more your business grows, the more complex tax requirements can become. Grant Thornton can help you minimise your tax exposure and highlight the risks presented by constantly evolving and increasingly complex legislation. Drawing on our knowledge and understanding of tax regimes in Australia and around the world, we offer timely information and independent, commercially-minded advice.
Through legitimate planning, we consider issues that arise within specific types of tax, as well as the tax implications of a new project, or a change to the business. We work with you to develop tax-planning strategies suitable for your specific business structure. Our common-sense approach is designed to help you understand and minimise the tax challenges your business faces.

Advisory: Privately Held Business Services (PHB)
In PHB at Grant Thornton, we have worked with businesses like yours for a long time. And along the way we have discovered what works and what doesn’t. Often, the answer is right in front of you, but it takes a fresh set of eyes and some knowledge to see the right solution for you and your business.
Numbers do not lie. The art is looking behind these numbers to determine what they really mean and to know how to organise your data and systems to extract meaningful information.
For example:
- Do you know who your top 10 customers are?
- Do you know which customers are profitable and which ones are not?
- Do you know who your best people are and why?
- Do you have cost effective and quality suppliers?
- Are you optimising your cash flow and use of debt?
- Are you managing your Balance Sheet correctly?
We work in partnership with you to analyse your business to come up with meaningful answers to these types of questions.
Our advisors are well versed in the challenges a business may face during its life cycle. Our expertise and knowledge has been gained by working closely with businesses like yours. We empathise with the anxieties of starting a business, from the regulatory red tape through to capital raising. We also understand the issues and dilemmas business owners face when exiting a business and the many options to be evaluated. We’re here to assist you through every stage, make life easier, and help you sleep at night.
