Grant Thornton Bahrain has launched its ‘#GTActivate2030’ strategic vision, aiming to pivot from capacity building to execution in response to accelerating regulatory changes across the GCC.
The 2026–2030 strategy, themed ‘Action to Impact’, focuses on driving growth through three core areas: corporate tax, cybersecurity, and artificial intelligence (AI) adoption.
The firm targets mid-market leadership in tax and advisory in Bahrain by 2030, alongside plans to have most engagements AI-enabled and to expand its local Bahraini advisory workforce to 50 per cent of the team.
“Our ambition is not simply to grow the firm, but to create real, lasting value,” managing partner Jassim Abdulaal said in a statement.
The strategy arrives as regional businesses navigate fiscal reforms, including the introduction of corporate income tax, alongside rising cybersecurity risks and technological disruption.
The firm’s senior partner Jatin Karia said the initiative calls for measurable impact and advising with integrity during a period of cost pressures and regulatory transition.
Progress will be tracked via a single firm-level scorecard reviewing quality, client retention, technology adoption, and national workforce development.
