RSM UK and RSM US have formally approved the creation of a new transatlantic partnership following near-unanimous votes by partners on both sides of the Atlantic.
The move follows the firms’ announcement in October 2024 of plans to join forces to deliver cross-border services for middle-market clients.
This new structure is said to be designed to strengthen their capacity to serve global clients, develop talent and accelerate growth while remaining a partner-owned enterprise.
Under the partnership, the firms will adopt aligned governance and a common approach to financial incentives, client service and future investment. Together, they comprise around 23,000 professionals across the UK, US, Canada, Ireland, India and El Salvador, generating combined revenues of about $5bn (£3.75bn).
The partnership aims to enable “seamless” service delivery across the UK, US, Ireland and Canada, strengthening RSM’s position in the middle-market advisory sector.
Rob Donaldson, chief executive of RSM UK, said: “We have been on a journey to become a more effective competitor to the largest players in the UK market whilst enhancing our ability to support our RSM network partners globally. This next step marks a defining moment in the journey of our firms on both sides of the Atlantic.
“We have, over the last 12 months, already seen new opportunities and tangible client wins that our firms could not have achieved independently. We believe this is only the beginning.”
