US-based accounting firm Crowe has launched its human capital consulting practice, a new service aimed at assisting businesses with the management of their workforce throughout the entire employee life cycle.

The move comes in response to the growing need for specialised human capital services that can help organisations navigate the ever-evolving challenges of talent management.

The new practice offers customised solutions that address various aspects of human resources, from policy development to compliance with regulatory requirements, and more.

The new venture is led by Joy Duce, a seasoned industry expert with more than two decades of experience in helping organisations achieve their business objectives through talent management.

In the new role, she is responsible for managing the delivery of a range of consulting services across talent management and outsourcing.

Duce will also help businesses meet their strategic goals and manage compliance requirements.

Joy Duce said: “In today’s rapidly evolving business landscape, managing the employee life cycle can be challenging due to the complexities of business growth and regulatory requirements.

“At Crowe, we leverage our breadth of experience and deep industry specialization to develop solutions that address the distinct needs of businesses, equipping them to tackle current human capital challenges and seize future opportunities.”

Crowe’s human capital consulting team provides a suite of services, including HR assessment and roadmap services, HR compensation and compliance, and human capital due diligence.

Crowe consulting managing principal Mike Edwards said: “The human capital consulting team at Crowe is dedicated to offering customised solutions to empower organisations to maximise the potential of their most valuable asset, their people.”

In October 2024, Crowe signed an enterprise agreement with Blue J, a provider generative AI for tax experts, to enhance its tax services with advanced AI capabilities.
