Grant Thornton Brazil integration marks a major milestone for the professional services firm as Grant Thornton Advisors expands its multinational platform into South America’s largest market. The move strengthens the company’s global reach, enhances client collaboration, and reinforces its strategy to unify advisory operations across continents.
Strategic Expansion: Grant Thornton Brazil Integration
The Grant Thornton Brazil integration follows recent expansions in New Zealand and Poland, making Brazil the 16th member of the growing multinational platform. The network now spans 20 time zones and continues to align firms under a shared commitment to quality, innovation, and global client service.
Grant Thornton Brazil, with nearly 2,000 employees and annual revenues exceeding $80 million, offers services in audit, tax, and advisory, focusing on business process optimization and corporate transformation.
Leadership Highlights the Importance of Brazil Integration
“This is a transformative milestone for our firm, our clients, and our professionals,” said Daniel Maranhão, CEO of Grant Thornton Brazil. “Brazil is a dynamic market, and joining this multinational platform enhances our ability to create greater value through global reach and collaboration.”
Jim Peko, CEO of Grant Thornton Advisors and Americas CEO, called the Grant Thornton Brazil integration a “leap forward” in building a cross-border advisory powerhouse. “Brazil’s scale and strategic importance make it a cornerstone of our mission to connect clients with global expertise,” he said.
Building a Unified Global Advisory Platform
The Grant Thornton multinational platform, launched earlier in 2025 with investment backing from New Mountain Capital, seeks to integrate tax and advisory services globally while maintaining independent audit practices.
The Grant Thornton Brazil integration supports this mission by expanding the firm’s presence in Latin America’s largest economy and providing clients with seamless cross-border support.
The transaction is expected to close later this year, pending final regulatory approvals. Upon completion, all integrated firms will continue operating within Grant Thornton International Limited, which spans over 150 global markets.
Legal Advisors and Transaction Support
Legal counsel for the deal was provided by Simpson Thacher & Bartlett and Lefosse Advogados on behalf of Grant Thornton Advisors, while Mattos Filho represented Grant Thornton Brazil.
These firms helped ensure a smooth integration process designed to align corporate governance, maintain compliance, and preserve the independence of audit functions.
Global Growth Momentum Continues
The Grant Thornton Brazil integration represents just one part of the firm’s wider global strategy. Upcoming agreements with firms in Spain, Luxembourg, New Zealand, and Poland are also nearing completion, expanding the multinational platform even further.
With its enhanced network and stronger presence in emerging markets, Grant Thornton Advisors continues to position itself as one of the world’s most connected and collaborative professional services firms.
The integration underscores Grant Thornton’s long-term goal: to combine local insight with global expertise, enabling clients to thrive in an increasingly interconnected economy.
