Business and financial advisory firm Grant Thornton has reported a 14 per cent growth in the last financial year, with a pre-tax profit of £76 million.

Following a merger with RSM Robson Rhodes in July, the company has experienced a 12 per cent increase in fee income and tax services have grown by 17 per cent. All of which has put the company in a different league, according to Michael Cleary, chief executive officer of Grant Thornton UK.

He commented: "[It] has created a firm which is the advisor of choice on Aim, a leading player in the mid-market and the provider of non-audit services to one in four of the FTSE 100."

Grant Thornton aims to have grown into a £0.5 billion company by 2010, he added, explaining it will increase investment and service development to promote the company worldwide.

This week, KPMG also announced company growth, experiencing a $2.1 billion (£1 billion) revenue increase for the year ending September 2007.
