Grant Thornton LLP, one of America's largest audit, tax and advisory firms, has admitted 38 new partners and principals and promoted 58 professionals to managing director. These appointments and promotions became effective August 1.

The list of 96 new leaders is a record for the firm, surpassing last year's record of 87 new promotions.

Seth Siegel, CEO of Grant Thornton, says the newly promoted leaders embody the firm's ongoing commitment to culture, quality and superior client service.

"All of these talented professionals are advancing our firm, and they consistently deliver on our promise to make business more personal and build trust into every result," Siegel said. "The breadth of their experience is impressive, and just as important, they have demonstrated time and again a knack for going beyond expectations for the many organizations we serve. As our firm continues to grow, all of these leaders will be instrumental in helping Grant Thornton reach new heights."

By service line, advisory accounts for the largest number of promotions (46%), followed by audit (30%), tax (20%), and internal services (4%).
