Whether undertaking transformations around the finance function, or indeed expanding your business into new markets, new solutions must be considered as the emerging challenges for accounting and finance teams grow increasingly complex.

These challenges also present a series of opportunities to businesses.  How do we manage our organisation and operations? How can we source local expertise and how do we manage the ever more demanding regulatory environments in which we operate?

The Financial Accounting and Advisory Services (FAAS) team here at Grant Thornton Bermuda is a multi-disciplinary group of specialists who build on their knowledge and experience to design and implement tailored solutions to effectively minimise friction associated with these complex challenges.  Our specialists help clients across all sectors, and our expertise is particularly strong in Financial Services, Technology and Life Sciences.

Our team of experts here at Grant Thornton is committed to providing best-in-class solutions to help our clients effectively overcome the hurdles associated with complex regulatory compliance requirements, especially when entering new markets. Whatever challenges your finance organisation is facing, the experts on our FAAS team can offer a bespoke service to minimise your pain and support you at every stage.
