"With the help of Grant Thornton India, we can launch a new and operational office anywhere on the planet within 30 days. I can contact a Grant Thornton office anywhere without being considered a new client"
states Rene G Kaerskov, Director and Chief Financial Officer of HBA Architecture and Interior Design.
For over 20 years Rene Kaersjov has benefited from the international capability of Grant Thornton member Firms in a number of countries around the world. HBA has branch offices in the cities of Los Angeles, san Francisco, Atlanta, London, Dubai, Mauritius, Singapore, Hongkong, Shanghai, Tokyo and New Delhi.
When the Company expanded into India, HBA was setting up an office in New Delhi and looking for an accounting Firm which could guide them through their start-up process.
" Previous experience of service from Grant Thornton member Firms around the world and their global reach made grant Thornton the ideal choice." Expressing immense satisfaction with his Grant Thornton India experience, Rene commented, " Our New Delhi office has grown by 500% during the first two years of its operation and Grant Thornton India has been there all the way. Th level of service has not changed since the day we walked through that door."
Commenting on their level of involvements he states, "Ongoing growth of our business has always been coached by Grant Thornton India. The Firm advises us on the recruitment of local accounting staff too." Rene says that the main advantages of associating with Grant Thornton India is the Firm international capability and personalized service. "I have closely interacted with individual staff in numerous Grant Thornton member Firms around the world. Grant Thornton understands HBA's business plan very well and our objectives are understood throughout the service team - from partner to staff levels. Anybody can handle compliance for a company like HBA, but global business advisory is what we consider important."
