Rebecca Crowther

Director, Corporate Audit
Cheltenham

I am a Director in the Corporate Audit team at Crowe UK. After qualifying with Crowe UK, I gained valuable industry experience as a Director of Finance within a newly converted Academy Trust before returning to the firm in 2016.

Since then, I have continued to work with organisations across the Academies and Professional Practices sectors, and now lead the firm's sector development initiatives. With over 15 years of experience in Audit and Assurance, I understand the day-to-day issues and wider strategic challenges organisations face, as well as where the key risks and opportunities lie.

Having worked both in a practice and in a senior finance leadership role, I understand the audit process from both perspectives, enabling me to provide a smooth, proactive and practical service to clients.

I also form part of Crowe UK's COFA Network team, delivering regular in-person regulatory updates for Compliance Officers for Finance and Administration (COFAs) within law firms, and am a member of the ICAEW Solicitors Committee.
