Grant Thornton Netherlands achieves 4.8% revenue growth in a year of renewal
Alphen aan den Rijn, 30 July 2026 - Grant Thornton Netherlands publishes its annual figures and report for 2025. Revenue increased from €104.6 million to €109.6 million, an autonomous increase of 4.8%. Audit & Assurance achieved strong growth, with an increase of more than 10%. Revenue growth in the advisory practice lagged behind, partly due to reduced demand for sustainability advisory services.
2025 was a year of change and renewal. The organisation joined the multinational platform Grant Thornton Advisors, of which more than twenty Grant Thornton organisations are now part. The number of employees also increased from 722 in 2024 to 744 in 2025. In addition, Grant Thornton Netherlands introduced a new ERP system and took its first steps with AI pilots to further improve work processes and service delivery.
“The renewals form the foundations for further growth,” says Chief Executive Officer Marcel Blöte. “Our growth strategy remains unchanged: doubling growth in size and revenue, so that clients can be served even better and can build stronger relationships with us. Moreover, growth creates more challenging and enjoyable work, enabling us to continue attracting and retaining talent.”
Connection to international platform
The connection to Grant Thornton Advisors supports Grant Thornton Netherlands’ growth ambition. The firm states that within the platform, collaboration on renewal, specialisation and international service delivery is becoming more intensive. There is also more scope to invest in quality, innovation and ICT. For clients, they experience extra impact from the combination of the global Grant Thornton network and the multinational platform.
“Grant Thornton continues to specialise and offers better services. For example, in 2025 we established a new integrated Financial Services practice. This means that we offer multinational and multidisciplinary services to the financial sector, including banks, insurers, asset managers and fintech companies. The service offering was developed in collaboration with colleagues worldwide. We are seeing results there that exceed expectations,” says Marcel Blöte.
In April 2026, Grant Thornton Netherlands acquired consultancy firm C.P.I. Governance B.V., which continues as CPI, a Grant Thornton Netherlands company. With this acquisition, Grant Thornton Netherlands strengthens its position in the Financial Services market.
Quality remains a prerequisite for growth
Quality remains an indispensable prerequisite for further growth. In 2025, Grant Thornton made additional investments in quality and compliance processes, including strengthening the Quality and Compliance departments, further developing the quality management system, and implementing more rigorous quality reviews across the organisation. “Growth must never come at the expense of quality,” emphasises Marcel Blöte. “We will continue to invest in quality, integrity and professional development, also in response to the increasing use of AI by our clients and AI applications within our own work processes. Through these investments, we strengthen the trust of our clients and society.”
Sustainability reporting
Grant Thornton Netherlands continued to invest in sustainability in 2025, despite changes in European sustainability legislation. In the 2025 annual report, Grant Thornton takes a major step towards the European sustainability reporting standards. Marcel Blöte: “We have refined our value creation model, in line with our international developments and the outcomes of the double materiality assessment. This means it is even better aligned with the themes that are most relevant to our organisation and our environment. Our goal is to create sustainable value for our stakeholders and society, and we are proud to be able to demonstrate this in this way.”
Outlook: growth in 2026 and strengthening through CPI
Marcel Blöte: “The renewals in 2025 required significant attention from our internal organisation. It was worth it: we are convinced that these improvements are crucial to preparing our organisation for strong growth in 2026 and beyond. We expect this growth to come both from acquisitions, such as the acquisition of CPI, and from organic growth in virtually all areas of our service offering. Through our connection to the multinational platform, we can fully support our clients. For us, 2026 will be a year in which we reap the benefits of our renewals. By offering our people and clients even more added value, we maximise our impact. In this way, we continue to grow together.”
