Andrew Bowcher is a Partner in the Wagga Wagga Restructuring and Recovery division.
With over 20 years of experience at RSM, Andrew has been instrumental in assisting organisations, businesses, and individuals in navigating financial and operational challenges.
He specialises in restructuring, implementing change, and improving financial systems to enhance accountability and transparency. His ability to distil complex problems into clear, actionable strategies has made him a trusted advisor to government agencies, middle-market SMEs, regional businesses, and not-for-profit organisations across Australia.
Andrew’s expertise in restructuring and recovery has led to significant achievements throughout his career. He was the first Special Administrator to successfully complete an amalgamation of two Aboriginal Corporations under the Corporations (Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander) Act 2006 (CATSI Act), demonstrating his ability to facilitate major structural changes while ensuring compliance and cultural sensitivity.
Additionally, in his role as Administrator, Andrew was the first to negotiate, facilitate, and implement the Aboriginal Housing Office (AHO) Build and Grow Strategy in New South Wales. This milestone project provided essential housing solutions while promoting economic growth and sustainability within Aboriginal communities.
"I thrive on solving complex problems, providing clear and practical solutions that help businesses, organisations, and communities achieve long-term success."
Andrew is dedicated to helping clients overcome financial pressures, operational hurdles, and growth-related challenges. Whether a business is facing debt management issues, an organisation requires strategic restructuring, or a not-for-profit seeks guidance on financial sustainability, he provides tailored solutions that align with their unique objectives. His hands-on approach ensures that businesses and organisations receive practical, results-driven advice that allows them to move forward with confidence.
One of Andrew’s proudest achievements was his work as Administrator at the Wilcannia Local Aboriginal Land Council. In collaboration with the then CEO, he played a pivotal role in negotiating and implementing the United Nations Numeracy and Literacy Programme—an Australian-first initiative aimed at improving education outcomes for Indigenous communities. This groundbreaking achievement underscored his commitment to driving positive change and creating long-term impacts through structured financial and governance reforms.
Andrew’s journey in professional services began in Hay, NSW, where he experienced firsthand the power of a strong community. Since then, he has worked with various professional service firms before establishing his long-term tenure at RSM. Throughout his career, he has developed meaningful connections with clients, communities, and colleagues, valuing the relationships that form the foundation of his work.

He takes pride in not only delivering results but also in the trust and rapport he builds along the way. His clients appreciate his ability to listen, provide straightforward advice, and support them in achieving their goals.
What drives Andrew in his role is the opportunity to solve complex problems and provide clarity in uncertain situations. He thrives on working closely with clients to find the best possible outcomes, whether it be restructuring a business, guiding an organisation through a transition, or implementing governance frameworks that enhance efficiency.
He attributes much of his success to the experienced and supportive team at RSM, whose collaborative approach allows him to deliver high-quality advisory and restructuring services. Together, they help clients navigate financial uncertainty, streamline operations, and position their organisations for long-term success.
Andrew’s extensive experience, combined with his ability to provide clear and practical solutions, makes him a sought-after advisor for government entities, middle-market SMEs, regional businesses, and not-for-profit organisations. His deep understanding of financial structures, governance, and operational strategy ensures that his clients receive expert guidance tailored to their specific needs.
With a career dedicated to making a meaningful impact, Andrew continues to be a leader in restructuring and recovery, helping businesses and organisations across Australia achieve financial stability and long-term success.
Outside of work, Andrew is passionate about staying active and spending quality time with family and friends. He enjoys road cycling, snow skiing, and running, activities that allow him to challenge himself physically while maintaining a balanced lifestyle.
One trait he’s known for is his remarkable ability to remember details about people, though he occasionally struggles with names. This unique skill has helped him build strong, lasting relationships with clients and colleagues over the years.
