Kevane Grant Thornton joins global platform in expansion deal
Kevane Grant Thornton has joined the Grant Thornton Advisors LLC multinational platform, becoming the newest member of the U.S.-anchored network and expanding Puerto Rico’s role in the professional services sector.
The deal brings the platform to 17 firms operating in the Americas, Europe, the Middle East and the Asia-Pacific region.
The Puerto Rico firm, which is marking its 50th anniversary, adds more than 200 professionals to the platform. Executives said the affiliation aligns with a broader strategy to build capabilities throughout the U.S., the Caribbean and Latin America.
“Puerto Rico is at the nexus of the U.S., Caribbean and Latin American markets, making Kevane Grant Thornton an ideal accelerator for our multinational growth,” said Jim Peko, CEO of Grant Thornton Advisors LLC and CEO of the Americas.
“By adding the firm to our platform, we’re deepening our ability to support clients with worldwide talent, regional insights and sophisticated high-quality services,” he said.
For Kevane Grant Thornton, the move represents a major step as it expands its reach and the resources available to its clients.
“We’re extremely proud to join the Grant Thornton Advisors platform, especially as we celebrate our 50th anniversary,” said Carlos Dolagaray, managing partner. “This milestone reflects the exceptional talent and dedication of our team and is a testament to our commitment to evolve and grow while contributing meaningful value to the platform.”
Dolagaray said the affiliation provides “a great opportunity for our clients, prospective clients and employees to benefit from the additional bandwidth and resources,” adding that the firm expects to have a broader impact “in the Puerto Rico business community as well as worldwide.”
The transaction is expected to close later this year. The platform will continue operating within the Grant Thornton International Limited network, which connects firms in more than 150 markets.
