UK audit, tax, and advisory firm building internal platforms on Microsoft and Azure
Crowe UK is a mid-sized partnership delivering audit, tax, advisory, and consulting services across the UK and internationally. Their tech stack is heavily weighted toward Microsoft enterprise tools (Office, Dynamics 365, Power Platform, Azure) with CaseWare for audit workflows and NetSuite for financials — a pattern typical of established professional-services firms modernizing backend operations. Active projects center on an internal Edison 365 platform, R&D claim management, and cross-border compliance work, while pain points reveal ongoing pressure to improve audit efficiency and strengthen controls alongside platform usability challenges.
Crowe UK operates as an independent member of Crowe Global, a top-10 accounting network. The firm serves a broad client base: mid-market businesses, professional practices, nonprofits, pension funds, and private clients across manufacturing, food and beverage, retail, and other sectors. With 1,001–5,000 employees and headquarters in London, Crowe UK combines national presence with international reach through the Crowe network. Service lines span audit, tax advisory, consulting, and specialist advice for complex compliance and restructuring work. The partnership model and their stated commitment to close client relationships shapes how they structure engagement delivery.
Primary tools are Microsoft Office, Excel, Dynamics 365, Power Apps, Power Automate, and Azure cloud services (Azure DevOps, Logic Apps, Functions, AI Foundry). For audit and tax, they use CaseWare and CCH. Financial systems run on NetSuite; support and IT operations use Freshservice. Power BI handles analytics.
Key projects include Edison 365 platform development, R&D claim project management, private client compliance, cross-border structuring work, and housing SORP working-party participation. Internal focus areas include audit efficiency improvement and assurance/risk management strengthening.
