Anthony Dodd

I have worked with the team at Doane Grant Thornton for two of my businesses. Each time, they have been supportive, responsive and excellent at what they do. What sets them apart is how consistently the whole team delivers. Their clients get friendly, knowledgeable service from every person they deal with. That is the standard Anthony Dodd set when he brought his Durham Region practice into the firm in 2022, and the team has kept it up.

Donna Leitch is a big part of that. She is a wealth of information, and she is always there when I need help, whether the question is big or small. She is so good that I often tell Anthony to give her a raise because they can’t afford to lose her. People like Donna are why clients stay with a firm for years. She answers questions with patience and care, and she makes a business owner feel looked after.

The team serves owner-managed and privately held businesses with advice, assurance and tax compliance. For a small business owner, it is a relief to have an accounting team that is knowledgeable, approachable and invested in your success. Anthony has also been a true mentor to me in the accounting field, and that culture of teaching and support runs through the whole team.

This is business excellence: consistent customer service, strong leadership, and a team that cares about the people it serves and about the community it works in.

The team has served two of my businesses with consistently supportive, high-quality service.

Donna is a standout. She is a deep source of knowledge, always available to help, and someone the firm should never lose.

The team keeps the “friendly and knowledgeable service” Anthony’s practice was known for, backed by the resources of a national firm after the November 2022 merger.

They offer business advice, assurance and tax compliance for owner-managed and privately held businesses, with a particular interest in manufacturing and distribution.
Their approach is mentorship and education, not just preparing returns.
