Grant Thornton Bahamas

 

Grant Thornton Bahamas was initially established as Gomez & Co., Chartered Accountants in January 1990 by Paul Andy Gomez at the age of 31. Paul had previously worked with Peat Marwick & Mitchell (now KPMG) in both their Nassau and Downtown Los Angeles offices, and also with Thorne Ernst & Whinney (now Ernst & Young) in Nassau as an audit manager.

In October 1990 the name of the firm was changed to Gomez & Gomez, and an agreement was signed to represent Grant Thornton as a correspondent Firm in The Bahamas in 1991. In 2001 the Firm became a full Grant Thornton Member Firm within the Grant Thornton International network.

On October 1, 2007 Kendrick K. Christie, formerly a senior manager with Deloitte and a past president of The Bahamas Institute of Chartered Accountants (“the BICA”), the governing body for all professionally qualified accountants in The Bahamas, joined the firm as an Assurance and Advisory Partner.
