About us

We are Grant Thornton UK LLP

Dynamic organisations know they need to apply both reason and instinct to decision making. At Grant Thornton UK LLP, this is how we advise our clients every day. We combine award-winning technical expertise with the intuition, insight and confidence gained from our extensive sector experience and a deeper understanding of our clients.

Through empowered client service teams, approachable partners and shorter decision making chains, we provide a wider point of view and operate in a way that’s as fast and agile as our clients. The real benefit for dynamic organisations is more meaningful and forward-looking advice that can help to unlock their potential for growth.

Global strength

Grant Thornton* is one of the world's leading organisations of independent assurance, tax and advisory firms. Over 31,000 Grant Thornton people, across 100 countries, are focused on making a difference to clients, colleagues and the communities in which we live and work.

The proof

If industry awards are anything to go by (and these surely are), our distinctive approach is fully recognised by the markets we serve. For example, for the second year in succession the FDs' Excellence Awards have named us 'Auditor of the Year', from among the large six firms. Over 900 FDs were surveyed and asked to rate their accountancy firms, and we're delighted to say that it was our clients who declared
themselves most satisfied.

Client satisfaction is at the heart of our business, and our clients regularly voice strong appreciation of our services. Please scroll below to see a selection of client quotes.
