Grant Thornton has consolidated its advisory services practice, combining the firm's various advisory service lines and more than 800 professionals across the U.S. into a single division.
The advisory services practice now encompasses a wide variety of areas, including governance, risk and compliance; information technology; forensics, investigations and litigation; transaction advice; due diligence; corporate advisory and restructuring; valuation; and business strategy and performance improvement.
In conjunction with the consolidation, the firm has appointed Greg Pitzer and Larry Redler as co-national managing principal and partner, respectively, of the advisory services practice. Pitzer has served as national managing principal of the business advisory services practice since 2002. Redler joined Grant Thornton in 1980 and has served as economic advisory services national managing partner.
"The appointment of this national advisory services leadership team further strengthens Grant Thornton's ability to provide innovative, customized solutions to organizations throughout their life cycle," said Grant Thornton CEO Ed Nusbaum (pictured) in a statement. "Our clients expect us to deliver the right resources and the right services without being constrained by internal silos or geography."
