Meet GT Augment

Grant Thornton is rolling-out GT Augment, its AI platform, across the UK this summer.

This makes Grant Thornton one of the first major UK accountancy firms to embed generative AI across its entire workforce.

All partners and employees in audit, tax, and advisory will be set up with Anthropic’ s Claude by the end of August, as part of a £500m investment.

Chief digital office, David Gartside said too many firms’ risk mistaking visibility for impact when it comes to AI: “The firms that win won’t be the ones talking the most about AI. They will be the ones using it so well it barely gets mentioned. This isn’t about AI theatre. It’s about changing how work gets done in ways clients can feel, even if they don’t see the mechanics behind it.”

Alongside the rollout Grant Thornton plans to open a Digital Experience Centre in London later this year, where clients will be able to work with the firm on technology-enabled approaches to service delivery and business transformation.
