As a result of the combination between Grant Thornton and Nexia ACPA in Vietnam, Khoi Hoang is stepping into Matthew Facey’s former role as tax director at the newly merged firm, which will be known as Grant Thornton Vietnam (GTV). The deal, which was completed at the beginning of July is one of Vietnam’s largest professional service mergers of 2014.
Hoang has been a partner of Nexia ACPA for the past decade and has nearly two decades of experience as a tax professional, working for a Big 4 firm before joining Nexia.
“Nexia overall had a much larger and stronger tax practice than GTV [Grant Thornton Vietnam], whereas GTV had a much stronger advisory practice,” said Kenneth Atkinson, executive chairman of the merged firm, about the reasons for the merger.
