Crowe announces new partner and principal class
Crowe, a mid-market accounting and consulting firm, announced the election of 45 new partners and principals, effective April 1, 2022.
Next year’s partner/principal class is less than half the size of this year’s, when 104 partners and principals were elected.
Seventeen partners and principals were elected in the Chicago-headquartered firm’s advisory and consulting business. The firm’s consultants support clients across industries with services across strategy, operations, transactions, forensics, restructuring, regulatory and compliance, technology, and cybersecurity.
Sixteen people were promoted to partner or principal in the audit and assurance business, while 12 people were promoted within the tax business.
“I’m very pleased to congratulate our new partner class on reaching this significant career achievement,” said Crowe CEO Mark Baer, who was elevated to the top role earlier this year. “Each day we talk about shaping a better tomorrow for our people, clients, communities, and firm. This new partner class positions us to continue that legacy.”
