Overview

Grant Thornton Stax is a strategy consulting firm built for high-impact work with private equity and growth-focused clients. Following our acquisition by Grant Thornton Advisors LLC, we’re expanding rapidly, combining the agility and culture of a boutique with the scale, reach, and platform of Grant Thornton.

The Work

As a Senior Consultant in the Value Creation practice, you will play a central role on high-impact engagements focused on driving revenue growth, EBITDA expansion, and operational improvement for private equity portfolio companies.

Engagements often extend beyond strategy development into implementation planning and measurable execution.

Our teams operate with high ownership, direct client exposure, and meaningful responsibility—without the heavy travel model common in consulting.
