Latin America-focused group Auxis acquired by Grant Thornton
Auxis, a company with staff in four Latin American countries, has been acquired by Grant Thornton, a global accounting and advisory firm.
Established in 1997, Auxis is a pioneer in Latin American outsourcing and business modernization services. The company, which is headquartered in the US but has over 1,000 employees in Costa Rica, Colombia, Mexico and Guatemala, assists organizations in modernising and scaling operations through efficient processes, advanced technologies and shared services.
Auxis supports Fortune 1000 and upper-middle-market organizations across a range of industries, including in consumer packaged goods, retail, food & beverage, healthcare and financial services, among others.
“Joining Grant Thornton provides Auxis the scalable and robust platform required to successfully help clients modernize their operating models – helping them thrive in a business environment marked by ever-increasing change and technology disruptions,” said Raul Vega, CEO of Auxis.
“Grant Thornton’s deep client relationships and reputation for excellent quality will enable us to deliver our value-added, technology-backed services to an even broader international clientele.”
At Grant Thornton, Auxis will become part of its advisory business (‘Grant Thornton Advisors’), which provides a range of services centered on strategy, transformation and operations. These include offerings across mergers & acquisitions, technology, finance, operations, sales and marketing, data, AI, cybersecurity and risk. Grant Thornton Advisors also provides a complete slate of tax services.
“Bringing Auxis into the Grant Thornton platform is a milestone moment for us,” said Jim Peko, CEO of Grant Thornton Advisors. “Auxis’ proven shared services, nearshoring expertise and tech-enabled solutions are a natural fit for our world-class model. This deal allows us to deepen client engagement and enhance our offerings – delivered with speed, scalability and quality.”
According to Tom Puthiyamadam, Managing Partner for Advisory Services at Grant Thornton Advisors: “Clients today aren’t just asking for advice – they want consultants who can deliver bold solutions with agility, smart technology, practical innovation and quantified impact. That’s why we’re building something truly unique: a full-service advisory practice powered by AI and grounded in human insight. Bringing Auxis into the fold will strengthen that vision.”
The transaction continues a period of rapid growth for Grant Thornton Advisors. In recent months, the unit announced transactions with several firms to join the platform, including firms in Ireland, the UAE, Switzerland, Liechtenstein, the Netherlands, Luxembourg, the Cayman Islands and the Channel Islands.
