Grant Thornton grows global revenues by 6% to $8.5 billion
Global accounting and consulting network Grant Thornton delivered another solid year of growth in its 2025 financial period, increasing revenues by 6.1% to a record $8.5 billion.
Over recent years, Grant Thornton has enjoyed a steady upward trajectory, with global revenues rising from $6.6 billion in 2021 to $8.5 billion in 2025 (its financial year runs to the end of September).
In the latest 12-month period, growth was led by Africa (up 16.2% to $140 million), Asia Pacific (up 11.2% to $1.4 billion), Europe and the Middle East (up 7.4% to $3.3 billion) and the Americas (up 2.7% to $3.6 billion).
Growth was headlined by the country organisations in Türkiye (+72%), Singapore (+29%), India (+25%), Philippines (+23%), Brazil (+21%), and Greece (+21%). The United Arab Emirates was also singled out by the global network as a standout performer – for the second consecutive year – on the back of 15% growth in the 2025 financial period.
Commenting on the UAE’s performance, a spokesperson said: “Our development positions us strongly for the future as we continue to drive innovation and deepen our commitment to delivering exceptional value and investing in capabilities that matter most to our clients.”
In the UAE, Grant Thornton has a team of over 800 staff working across offices in Dubai, Abu Dhabi, and Sharjah. The business earlier this year joined Grant Thornton Advisors – the network’s private equity backed platform.
Elsewhere in the Middle East, Grant Thornton has member firms in Saudi Arabia (which has been on a recent hiring spree), and Bahrain, Kuwait, Lebanon, Oman, Qatar, and Yemen.
Globally, Grant Thornton now comprises about 80,000 people, an increase of 5% year-on-year.
“Our record revenues reflect the strength and resilience of our network and the trust our clients place in us,” said Peter Bodin, CEO of Grant Thornton, who will pass the torch to incoming CEO Greg Keith at the start of 2026.
“Over the past five years, we have delivered sustainable organic growth – a long-term trend that positions us strongly for the future. We have built a cohesive network with a clear focus on delivering the best quality service to mid-market businesses, while embracing new dynamics such as private equity investment in our member firms. These changes bring exciting opportunities for our network and our clients.”
In terms of service lines, Assurance remains Grant Thornton’s largest service line at 45% of total revenues, with growth at 8%. Advisory grew by 5% and represents 35% of total fees, while Tax grew by nearly 5% and now account for one-fifth of the network’s business.
