CHICAGO and JERSEY, October 3, 2025 – Grant Thornton Channel Islands has completed a transaction that makes it part of the Grant Thornton Advisors multinational platform — which was established in January 2025 with the support of an investor group led by New Mountain Capital.

The platform also includes Auxis, a pioneer in outsourcing and business modernization services, and Stax, which specializes in commercial due diligence and value creation.

The platform, and its 270 professionals in the Channel Islands, now delivers a singular client experience that includes enhanced solutions and capabilities, backed by powerful technologies and a distinctive cross-border culture. 

It remains part of the Grant Thornton International Limited network, which comprises member firms in more than 150 markets worldwide. 

The transaction was originally announced in June of 2025.
