Grant Thornton Australia kicks new FY off with 13 promotions
Grant Thornton Australia has promoted ten new partners and three new principals, adding to the 13 partner hires made over the last 12 months in response to the growth of the business.
The firm has put increased focus on business advisory, with the team growing 41 per cent to 141 people in the last 12 months, almost doubling the revenue for the same period.
Chief executive officer of Grant Thornton Australia, Greg Keith, said the mid-sized business sector has been largely forgotten by legislators and the media, but they represent the potential for small business to become something greater, and they offer competition to large enterprises.
“Having made the transition from small business or start up, our clients are facing challenges associated with growth: digital disruption, scalability of service, cross-border and international regulation and human capital,” he said.
“Our growing leadership team work closely with our clients to make sense of the market and create the right conditions for success.”
The firm has also seen significant growth in their health and aged care industry, with the incoming principal, Darrell Price, to lead a team of more than 80 in that sector.
“We have more people doing more work in this space than most of our competitors - and the depth and breadth of our expertise across all of our service lines is helping to shape the future of this critical sector,” said Keith.
