Broad incumbents

• Deloitte Chile: Deloitte Chile is the Chilean member of one of the Big Four, offering audit, tax, consulting, and advisory services to multinational and large domestic clients. Directly comparable to Grant Thornton Chile across audit, tax compliance, transfer pricing, and corporate finance — though much larger and serving bigger listed-company mandates.
• PwC Chile: PwC Chile delivers audit, tax, and advisory services through its local member firm of the global PwC network. Competes with Grant Thornton Chile for the same Chilean mid-market and large-enterprise audit/tax work, with a similar multidisciplinary model but a larger global brand footprint.
• KPMG Chile: KPMG Chile offers audit, tax, and advisory services through its local member firm and competes head-to-head with Grant Thornton Chile for mid-market and large-company engagements. Several Grant Thornton Chile hires (e.g., Daniela Guerrero) came from KPMG, reinforcing the direct comparability of service offerings and target clients.
• EY Chile: EY Chile provides assurance, tax, transaction advisory, and consulting services as the local member of Ernst & Young Global. Overlaps directly with Grant Thornton Chile across financial statement audits, IFRS transitions, tax compliance, and ESG advisory, and is a key competitor for multinational clients operating in Chile.

Direct peers

• BDO Chile: BDO in Chile is part of the BDO global network and focuses on mid-market audit, tax, and consulting services. Like Grant Thornton Chile, BDO targets family businesses and mid-market enterprises, making it one of the closest direct competitors in service mix, client segment, and network-based delivery model.
• RSM Chile: RSM Chile is the local member of RSM International, offering audit, tax, and consulting primarily to mid-market companies. It competes with Grant Thornton Chile in the same Chilean mid-market segment with a comparable network-affiliated service model and similar client-tier targeting.
• Baker Tilly Chile: Baker Tilly Chile operates as part of the Baker Tilly network, providing audit, tax, and advisory services. Comparable to Grant Thornton Chile in mid-market focus, family-business clientele, and network-driven cross-border capability, making it a relevant head-to-head competitor for similar mandates.
• Mazars / Forvis Mazars Chile: Forvis Mazars Chile (formerly Mazars) provides audit, tax, and advisory services as part of the global Forvis Mazars network. Highly comparable to Grant Thornton Chile in mid-market positioning, service breadth, and talent flows — Catalina Zapata previously led tax at Forvis Mazars before joining Grant Thornton Chile.

Emerging players

• Protiviti Chile: Protiviti Chile provides risk consulting, internal audit, and technology advisory services as part of the global Protiviti network. Overlaps with Grant Thornton Chile's GT Tech and Risk Compliance practices (forensic, cybersecurity, internal audit), competing for similar technology and risk advisory mandates.
• Crowe Chile: Crowe Chile is part of the Crowe Global network, offering audit, tax, and advisory services with a focus on mid-market clients. While smaller than Grant Thornton Chile, it competes for similar audit and consulting mandates and shares the network-affiliated professional services model.
