RSM US and RSM UK, both major players in assurance, tax, and consulting services, are in advanced discussions regarding a potential transatlantic merger. This merger is designed to strengthen the global capabilities of both firms, offering enhanced services to their clients across international markets. If successful, the combined entity will operate across the US, UK, Canada, Ireland, India, and El Salvador, with 23,000 professionals and projected annual revenues of $5 billion.
The proposed merger represents a significant step for RSM International, bringing together two of its largest firms. According to RSM US CEO Brian Becker, the integration will allow the firms to better serve their clients’ needs by creating a platform that provides seamless access to a wider range of resources. The merger is seen as part of RSM’s 2030 global strategy, which emphasizes long-term growth and delivering top-quality services to middle market businesses.
RSM UK CEO Rob Donaldson echoed these sentiments, highlighting the strong relationships already in place between the transatlantic firms. He emphasized that this merger is a natural progression after years of successful collaboration and consistent growth in the UK and Ireland markets.
While the talks are still ongoing and final terms are yet to be confirmed, the merger marks a key moment in the ongoing transformation of the professional services industry. The combined strength of the two firms promises to further solidify RSM’s position as a leading advisor to the middle market worldwide.
