Grant Thornton, one of America’s largest brands for audit,
assurance, tax, and advisory services, is celebrating a new award
win. Becky Linnett, an Audit partner in the firm’s Miami office,
has been named a ”40 Under 40” honoree by the South Florida
Business Journal. This prestigious list recognizes talented
individuals under the age of 40 who have made an impact in their
fields, companies and communities.
In addition to her Audit role, Linnett leads the Real Estate
& Construction industry group in South Florida, providing
high-quality, personalized services to a wide variety of clients in
those industries. These dual roles represent the latest chapter in
a burgeoning career on both sides of the Atlantic.
Linnett began her career at Grant Thornton U.K. and moved to the
U.S. permanently following a secondment in California. There, she
managed relationships with major clients across Southern California
and the Bay Area. After developing a stellar reputation for client
service, she earned an opportunity to move to South Florida and
serve one of the firm’s largest asset management clients. Linnett
quickly rose to the position of Audit growth leader for the South
Florida asset management practice, and she was named a partner at
the age of 34.
According to Scott Mager, Grant Thornton’s market managing
principal for South Florida, Linnett’s exceptional client service
has fueled growth in Miami and across the country.
“It’s been inspiring to see Becky consistently grow in her
career, and the authentic connections she builds with our clients
are exactly what’s needed in an industry like real estate,” said
Mager. “She’s always seeking new ways to add value and get even
closer to our clients, and with her on our team, I know we’ll
continue providing distinctive value to organizations throughout
South Florida.”
Outside of her client work, Linnett leads the South Florida
Working Parents & Allies Business Resource Group, through which
she helps plan and lead programming that promotes a strong
work-life balance. She is also an active member of the local
business community. For instance, she serves as Grant Thornton’s
liaison to the Mortgage Banking Association, and she leads the
South Florida chapter of Chartered Accountants Worldwide (CAW).
Linnett also participates in events and programming hosted by the
British American Business Council, supporting her fellow U.K.
professionals in South Florida.
"Being selected among so many talented, local professionals is
an incredible honor," said Linnett. "This recognition motivates me
to do even more for my clients and teammates, who are the most
talented people in the professional services industry. I'm looking
forward to making an even greater impact in my adopted community
here in South Florida."
Linnett’s recognition follows another recent accolade for Grant
Thornton’s South Florida offices: Yaury Jattin, a principal in
Corporate Tax Solutions, was named to the South Florida Business
Journal’s Diverse Voices list.
