Crowe Horwath LLP

ABOUT THIS COMPANY:

New era

With a history that dates back to 1942, Crowe Horwath began as a traditional certified public accounting firm with only two full-time employees. Crowe established its consulting group in the 1960s, and today is one of the most respected and recognized firms of its kind. Touting itself as “The Unique Alternative to the Big Four,” Crowe gives four reasons why its services are among the best: the higher level of service and value it brings to clients, the core competencies of its thought leaders, its innovative approach to client needs, and a high level of service commitment. Formerly known as Crowe Chizek and Company, the firm entered a new era of operations in September 2008 when it was re-branded and reborn as Crowe Horwath. The name change reflected the firm’s international reach as a member of Horwath International, a network that represents 150 member firms in more than 100 countries around the world. Crowe joined Horwath International in 1991 and has worked its way up through the years to become one of its leading members. Crowe currently has approximately 2,600 employees serving out of 28 offices, mainly located in the Midwest, Southeast, and Northeast. The firm provides audit, risk and performance consulting, and tax services to companies in numerous sectors, including construction, education, finance, food and agriculture, health care, manufacturing and distribution, not-for-profit, private equity, and state and local government. By revenue, Crowe is the ninth-largest accounting firm in the country, according to Accounting Today's 2013 Top 100 Accounting Firms rankings.
