History

In 1915, Hungarian immigrants Ernest and Edmund Horwath founded Horwath & Horwath in New York.[3][4] The original practice focused on the hospitality industry.[5] The practice later expanded to include accounting, audit and tax offerings.[6] In 1960, the umbrella organization Horwath & Horwath International Associates (HHIA) was established.[7] In 1989, the organization shortened its name to Horwath International.[8] Horwath International rebranded in April 2009 as Crowe Horwath International to build awareness as a network of accounting and advisory services firms.[1][9][10]
