Grant Thornton Advisors expands multinational platform
Grant Thornton Advisors expands multinational platform — adding UAE, Luxembourg, and Cayman Islands
Expanded platform will seamlessly deliver high quality, enhanced solutions and world-class talent in additional geographies
Chicago & Dublin, Ireland, Wednesday 23 April, 2025—Grant Thornton Advisors LLC in the US and Grant Thornton in Ireland have today announced that they have expanded the transatlantic platform they created earlier this year by merging in three additional firms, while continuing active discussions with several others.
Grant Thornton UAE, Grant Thornton Luxembourg, and Grant Thornton Cayman are joining the multinational platform that was established with the backing of an investor group led by New Mountain Capital, a growth-oriented investment firm with approximately $55 billion in assets under management.
The expanded platform will continue to be part of the Grant Thornton International Limited network, which comprises member firms in more than 150 markets worldwide.
As a united platform, the five firms can now offer broader capabilities to a growing client base and further enhance the talent and quality of their unified advisory and tax services. The combination also brings strength to their independent audit and assurance practices. Additionally, this move bolsters their standing in the world’s most prominent financial centers, with aggregated access and expertise in major growth industries including banking, asset management, insurance and energy.
The expansion creates a team of more than 13,000 professionals across more than 50 offices in the US, Island of Ireland, the United Arab Emirates, Luxembourg, the Cayman Islands, Bermuda, Isle of Man and Gibraltar.
The CEO of Grant Thornton Advisors, Jim Peko, will continue to lead the platform, and existing leadership in the newly added firms will maintain management of their respective geographies
The platform will continue to explore growth opportunities in additional service lines and regions where there is economic alignment, client consistency and industry-service intersection.
“Scaling our offerings and footprint underscores our focus on advancing a combined platform, with multinational experience and exemplary quality,” said Peko.
“In a fast-moving business environment, clients need trusted advisors that deliver high-quality and innovative solutions across dynamic high-growth sectors and geographies. Our focus is on creating a world-class client experience.”
“The expansion of our platform with firms that have shared ambitions and complementary talents supports our strategic focus,” said Steve Tennant, Managing Partner of Grant Thornton in Ireland, who spearheaded the acquisitions on behalf of Grant Thornton Advisors.
“As we look to the future, we will continue to unlock new capabilities, expand our geographic delivery and open new opportunities benefitting our clients and our people.”
“This platform is unlike any other in the accounting and consulting industry — delivering a singular experience and exceptional quality,” said Andre Moura, managing director, New Mountain Capital.
“We look forward to supporting Grant Thornton Advisors in bringing together additional service providers in our united, global structure.”
The transactions with Grant Thornton Luxembourg and Grant Thornton (Cayman) are subject to regulatory approvals and other standard closing conditions.
