Crowe Osborne, including its subsidiary Crowe Västerås has formed a group with three audit firms recognized for their long-term customer relationships, talent, and leading market positions. The group will invest in digitalization, quality assurance and talent with an aim to become the leading advisor for entrepreneur-led companies and other customers in non-regulated markets in Sweden.
The demand for audit and advisory services is growing rapidly, driven by an increasingly complex regulatory environment, and the rising need for tailored and qualified advisory services. Simultaneously, audit firms increasingly need to invest in key areas such as digitalization and employee development. To address these trends, the group will focus on audit and advisory services for customers in non-regulated markets.
The strategic goal is to become the most attractive employer in the audit industry, while delivering the highest levels of customer satisfaction. Emphasizing entrepreneurship and long-term customer relationships, the group will continue to operate under their local brands and leadership. They will work together to leverage resources to invest in critical areas such as digitalization, quality assurance, talent development, and recruitment.
Adelis Equity Partners becomes minority owner of the group to support strategic investments.
Thomas Gustavsson, Managing Director of Crowe Osborne, comments on the new formation:
"New regulations and the ongoing trend toward digitalization create compelling opportunities for well-resourced auditing firms. This strategic move to combine resources will further enhance our ability to attract and retain top talent. It will enable increased investment in key service areas that will add value to our clients such as sustainability, tax expertise, and IT auditing. We are confident that this collaboration with like-minded entrepreneurs will drive innovation and success in our core audit business and provide additional value to our clients and people."
