RSM expands audit and tax teams in its Aberdeen office

RSM UK has made several hires in its Aberdeen office to support the firm’s “regional and national growth ambitions”.

The latest hires include Robbie Simpson as audit director, Ciaran Fines as assistant tax manager, and Naeema Joji as assistant audit manager.

Simpson specialises in large complex audit engagements, supporting clients through their compliance and other assurance requirements.

At RSM, one of Simpson’s key leadership areas as audit director will be to grow the office in Aberdeen, building long-term and valued relationships with clients and delivering high quality statutory audit and assurance work.

Simpson specialises in large complex audit engagements, supporting clients through their compliance and other assurance requirements.

He brings with him 15 years of experience, most of which spent at PwC, where he worked with large international corporate and listed organisations.

The firm has also recently appointed Lisa Macpherson-Fletcher as tax partner in the private client advisory team, supporting its Aberdeen and Edinburgh offices.

Simpson said: “It’s fantastic to have joined RSM at such an exciting time. I am looking forward to supporting clients in Aberdeen and continuing to build on the strength of the amazing team that we have here at RSM.

“I plan to leverage my experience of working with some of the most complex organisations to add value and deliver an excellent service to our clients, further establishing RSM as the leading adviser to middle market businesses in Aberdeen.”

Andrew Forsyth, RSM’s office managing partner in Aberdeen, added: “Robbie brings a wealth of experience to the Aberdeen team and his appointment reflects our commitment to providing our clients in the middle market with an expert service.

“We’re continuing to invest in our people and hiring new talent as we work towards our ambitious growth plans, and I look forward to working with Robbie as we focus on building new relationships in the regional market.”
