Grant Thornton International has formed a new member firm in Kyrgyzstan through its existing members in Armenia, Tajikistan and Uzbekistan.
Tajikistan managing partner Gurken Hakobyan will lead the new firm, combining two managing partner roles to provide audit, tax and advisory services. The firm will be headquartered in the capital Bishkek.
Grant Thornton chief executive Ed Nusbaum said: "I am delighted that our three firms in the CIS region have taken a lead in
developing our service offering. Kyrgyzstan is growing and represents great opportunities for us as a global organisation."
New firm leader Gurgen Hakobyan said: "Kyrgyzstan is a developing economy and has many growth opportunities for our firm, with only two Big Four firms represented in the market."
