Rusty Butcher Email & Phone Number

As the managing partner of HORNE, my leadership is driven by a deep commitment to the firm’s core values of God, family, service and gratitude. Before this role, I served as managing partner of HORNE's public and middle markets focus area and Chairman of the Board, where I helped create our investment banking division, HORNE Capital Strategies, and HORNE Philippines Corporation. My passion is maintaining a culture of trust, respect, and transparency. These principles have transformed HORNE into a top 30 CPA firm and a leader in professional services, as we strive to become the most loving professional services brand. Throughout my career, I’ve dedicated myself to our clients and team members. I’ve worked with numerous regional and community banks in auditing and consulting and led HORNE’s financial institutions practice. With a strong foundation in audit, I continue to practice as a Certified Public Accountant. I attended the University of Alabama and earned my Bachelor of Science in Business Administration, with an emphasis in accounting from Union University, and also attended the Paul W. Barret Jr. School of Banking. These experiences shape my commitment to leading HORNE with integrity and dedication to our values.
