National firm launches new venture, acquires new practice
Crowe Horwath has announced the acquisition of a regional accounting and tax firm, as well as the launch of a regional innovation initiative, in an effort to boost its presence outside of metropolitan centres.
Crowe Horwath, which is part of the privately-owned accountancy and financial advisory firm Findex, has today announced the acquisition of Grafton-based R.G.Turns Accounting and Taxation Practice (R.G. Turns).
R.G. Turns founder and principal Bob Turns said the acquisition will increase the services available to R.G Turns’ clients.
“The acquisition marks a significant step forward for R.G.Turns, which will offer our loyal clients national expertise with a local presence, while ensuring they are as valued as ever,” Mr Turns said.
“Crowe Horwath has a 50-year history in the Grafton region and mirrors our vision of staying local, but growing in order to offer clients more.”
Mr Turns and R.G. Turns senior accountant Jennifer McLellan are now working from the Crowe Horwath office in Grafton NSW, supported by a team of 12 financial professionals.
