Grant Thornton Advisors expands its multinational platform by adding its Puerto Rico arm, Kevane Grant Thornton, strengthening its presence in the Caribbean and Americas markets. Grant Thornton Advisors LLC expands the multinational platform it created earlier this year by adding Kevane Grant Thornton in Puerto Rico. The deal, which is expected to close later this year, grows the platform to include 17 firms stretching across the Americas, Europe, the Middle East, and the Asia-Pacific region. It marks the second deal in the Americas this month, alongside Grant Thornton Brazil. The move significantly strengthens the advisory and tax firm’s foothold in a key region for the captive insurance market. Kevane Grant Thornton joins fellow Caribbean firm Grant Thornton Cayman, which is also part of the platform. Puerto Rico is a prominent captive jurisdiction, and the addition of the 50-year-old firm, which has more than 200 team members, is strategically important for multinational clients in the region. Jim Peko, CEO of Grant Thornton Advisors LLC & CEO of the Americas, says the move is a powerful moment for growth. “Puerto Rico is at the nexus of the US, Caribbean and Latin American markets, making Kevane Grant Thornton an ideal accelerator for our multinational growth,” Peko comments. “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. This deal represents yet another powerful growth moment for our platform and for Grant Thornton in Puerto Rico.” Carlos Dolagaray, managing partner at Kevane Grant Thornton, adds that the firm is “extremely proud to join the Grant Thornton Advisors platform, especially as we celebrate our 50th anniversary. 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.” The platform will remain part of the Grant Thornton International Limited network, which comprises member firms in more than 150 markets worldwide.
