ALFREDO CASTILLO
Managing Director, Tax
Grant Thornton LLP
Alfredo Castillo has become an inspirational figure within an industry where diversity is still underrepresented. His journey is marked by limited opportunities, breaking barriers, systemic biases and cultural differences. Yet this journey allows him to bring a unique perspective and inclusive approach to his practice. His hope is that his story encourages others facing similar challenges, showing them that, with perseverance and resilience, one can not only thrive in the CPA industry, but also make a significant contribution to the accounting profession.
Additionally, Castillo is passionate about training, developing and mentoring others. He believes caring mentorship is one of the best tools he can use to help others succeed in the profession, and this passion has helped him develop long-lasting relationships with other CPAs and with his clients. When it comes to servicing his clients, Castillo consistently goes above and beyond to understand their needs.
