Grant Thornton Venezuela

What Grant Thornton Venezuela does

Grant Thornton Venezuela, operating under the legal entity Gómez, Marqués y Asociados, is a Caracas-based member firm of Grant Thornton International Ltd (GTIL), the global network of independent audit, tax, and advisory firms spanning approximately 147 countries with roughly 68,000 professionals. Founded in 1997 and headquartered in a single Caracas office (Av. Casanova, Edificio Banco Plaza), the firm delivers three professional service lines: financial statement auditing (including limited reviews and specific account reviews), tax advisory (tax planning, transfer pricing, ongoing technical consultations, tax diagnostics, monthly tax compliance, and tax outsourcing), and consulting with a particular emphasis on anti-money laundering and integrated risk management (LC/FT/FPADM) compliance with the Venezuelan SIAR framework.

The firm's core operational technology is Grant Thornton's global LEAP (Low Engagement Audit Process) methodology, a five-step audit framework aligned with International Standards on Auditing and applied in conjunction with IFRS and US GAAP expertise. This methodology is shared across the network along with integrated quality control processes, allowing the Venezuelan entity to deliver audits consistent with global standards while applying deep local regulatory knowledge (SUDEBAN for banking, SENIAT for tax). The firm also produces recurring technical publications through its "Al Día con GT" series and topical reports such as the "Guía de Inversión en Venezuela 2026" and "Women in Business 2026."

The business model is a traditional professional services partnership: revenue is generated through engagement-based fees negotiated per scope, complexity, and client requirements, with multi-year client relationships and direct partner-led client service. The go-to-market is enterprise field sales through partner networks, and the firm maintains two disclosed leadership partners covering audit (Roderick Marquis) and tax (Carlos Díaz). Marketing is primarily conducted through the website, press releases, and technical content rather than paid channels. Revenue and financial metrics are not publicly disclosed.
