Grant Thornton, one of America’s largest brands for audit,
assurance, tax, and advisory services, has named Brandon Young as
the firm’s new market managing principal in Oklahoma City. In this
role, Young will drive Grant Thornton’s growth in Oklahoma City
while helping its professionals deliver personalized services to
clients across a range of industries.
Young has more than 25 years of professional services
experience, including almost 20 years at Grant Thornton in the
office he will now lead.
A tax professional by training, he is highly knowledgeable on
tax matters specific to high-wealth family groups as well as both
public and private companies — with a special background in the
retail and technology industries. His clients include C
corporations, S corporations and partnerships. Prior to his new
role, Young was the Private Wealth Services Tax leader in Grant
Thornton’s Central region.
“Brandon and I have been teammates for nearly 20 years, and time
and again, I’ve been impressed by both his constantly-growing
knowledge and the way he takes care of the people around him,” said
Nichole Jordan, the managing principal of the firm’s Texoma region.
“He sets a powerful example by developing genuine relationships
with his teammates and clients, and that inspires our people to
follow his lead.”
Young’s Oklahoma roots run deep. He graduated from Oklahoma
State University with bachelor’s and master’s degrees in
accounting, and he has worked in the state ever since, gaining deep
familiarity with the major industries powering Oklahoma. His work
as a Private Wealth Services leader has also given him valuable
experience in major markets beyond the state, thereby strengthening
the services he and his team provide clients.
Outside of work, Young is a board member of Vizavance, a
nonprofit organization devoted to preventing blindness. He is also
a member of both the American Institute of Certified Public
Accountants and the Oklahoma Society of Certified Public
Accountants.
He looks forward to continuing the strong momentum he and his
teammates have created in the community he calls home.
“It’s an honor to take on the role spearheading our firm’s
growth in Oklahoma City, and I’m especially excited to help lead so
many friends and colleagues who’ve been motivating me for years,”
Young said. “Because of our team’s talent, wealth of industry
knowledge and knack for personalized service, the future of our
firm looks brighter than ever here in the Sooner State.”
