Business services specialist Grant Thornton has appointed 15 new partners in its audit, tax and advisory areas across the island of Ireland, with four in its Belfast office.
And it brings the number of partners appointed in the past year to 23 as the firm continues its growth trajectory.
In Northern Ireland, Áine Logan and Paul Prenter become new advisory partners, with Bronagh Bourke becoming audit partner and Mark Bradley appointed as tax partner.
It follows the firm’s announcement of six new partners in January 2024, followed by Robert Fitzgerald, who joined as a financial services tax partner in March, and Emma Broderick, who joined as head of indirect tax in September.
The latest appointments follow Grant Thornton’s recent transformational agreement to combine the advisory and tax arms of the business with its counterparts in the US, creating a new multinational platform providing audit, advisory and tax services to a growing international client base.
Steve Tennant from Grant Thornton said: “This announcement is recognition of the exceptional talent within our firm and the momentum behind our ground-breaking new multinational platform.
“It also highlights the opportunities at Grant Thornton as we cater to a growing international client base as the first fully integrated US-Ireland professional services firm.
“Our new partners strengthen our expertise in key industries like financial services, technology, and healthcare. By combining local excellence with global capabilities and advanced technology, we’re setting a new standard in cross-border professional services.”
