SOUTH BEND, IN — Crowe LLP, a prominent public accounting and consulting firm with roots dating back to 1942 in South Bend, is reinforcing its dedication to northern Indiana through a strategic multimillion-dollar investment in state-of-the-art office space. This move underscores the firm’s ongoing commitment to the region, where nearly 300 employees, including top leadership, serve a diverse clientele spanning South Bend, Elkhart, and surrounding areas.

As Crowe continues its evolution from its original South Bend office to a nationally and globally recognized firm, the new 50,000-square-foot office at 320 E. Jefferson Blvd. will serve as a hub for its northern Indiana operations. This modern workspace, designed to foster collaboration and innovation, reflects the changing needs of both employees and clients in a rapidly evolving business landscape.

“Our clients and communities have been at the heart of our mission for 82 years,” said Brenda Torres, Crowe’s COO. “This newly renovated space not only enhances our ability to deliver exceptional service but also creates a modern environment that supports collaboration among our teams.”

The office is part of a broader real estate alignment for Crowe, featuring a 15-year lease with options for five-year extensions. Employees from the Elkhart office will transition to the South Bend location on January 1, 2025, although the two teams have been collaborating in person for years.

Leslie Yates, managing partner for Crowe’s South Bend office, emphasized the firm’s enduring commitment to the community: “While we have new office space, our mission to support and serve our clients in the region remains unwavering. We’re a part of this community, and the community is a part of who we are.”

Crowe’s investment in this innovative space not only aims to enhance client service but also positions the firm to attract top talent in a competitive market. The updated office will feature tech-enabled workspaces designed to cultivate learning and collaboration, addressing the evolving needs of modern businesses.

As Crowe continues to thrive in northern Indiana, its new office space symbolizes a commitment to growth, innovation, and community connection—values that resonate deeply with its long-standing history in the region.
