Penny Rowden
Director, Rowdens Limited
Penny is the slightly smaller but “better” half of the directors (Penny and Jonathan Rowden) of Rowdens, a firm of Chartered Accountants, based in Chichester on the south coast of the UK. Rowdens won the Xero small firm of the Year award in 2018 and Penny is part of the current Xero Partner Advisory Committee (XPAC). She and the rest of the Rowdens’ team are passionate about all things Xero and its wonderful cloud ecosystem that has transformed the way accountants like us can look after their clients. Rowdens’ mission statement is Achieving Success Together and Penny’s own, not so secret, mission is to get the tech truly integrating so we can all focus on achieving success and not faffing about because the tech doesn’t talk to each other properly! Rowdens is known for its tech adoption and builds very strong relationships with its App Partners and their communities to help ensure that the tech not only does what we need it to but that all of us in the cloud accounting space are looking after small businesses to the best of our abilities.
