Grant Thornton’s Global Success Reflected in Georgia’s Ambitions for Quality and Growth

The recently published International Accounting Bulletin (IAB) World Survey 2025 has once again highlighted Grant Thornton’s strong performance on the global stage. With an impressive growth rate of 7.3%, Grant Thornton demonstrated one of the strongest growth trajectories among its larger competitors — a clear reflection of the network’s robust strategy and commitment to quality.

Grant Thornton ranks sixth globally when excluding revenues from alliance firms—a more accurate reflection of the network’s strength based on fully integrated members. Including alliance revenues, the network ranks seventh overall, though it's important to note that alliance firms are not held to the same obligations or branding standards as member firms.

“This year’s IAB survey highlights what a fantastic result the network delivered last year. It’s a result of the tireless work by member firms around the world. Our focus on international collaboration, our reputation for quality, and our strong brand continue to attract both clients and professionals. We should all be proud of what we’ve achieved,” said Peter Bodin, CEO, Grant Thornton International.

At Grant Thornton Georgia, we share in the pride of this global achievement and remain deeply committed to delivering the same level of quality, innovation, and client service that has driven the network’s success. Our strategic focus is to establish and maintain the same market positioning locally that Grant Thornton enjoys globally - being the go-to advisor for dynamic businesses seeking high-quality, relationship-driven professional services. Our efforts align closely with the Go Beyond strategy 2025, which emphasizes sustainable growth through quality and accountability — including the full compliance with member firm obligations (MFOs), a core principle of network membership.

In Georgia, we are focused on maintaining and enhancing our position by aligning with the network’s strategic pillars:

• Investing in talent and leadership,• Deepening our industry expertise,• Driving client-focused innovation,• And building long-term relationships based on trust and transparency.

This global recognition reinforces our resolve to ensure that the standards set at the international level are consistently delivered here in Georgia. We are proud to be part of a network that continues to rise through collaboration, integrity, and impact.

“As our global peers continue to acknowledge the importance of separating alliance revenues in performance metrics, we remain aligned with the principles of transparency and quality. We look forward to contributing further to our network’s growth while creating lasting value in the Georgian market.”- Managing Partner, Paata Shurgaia.
