        730 offices and 72 countries.

  • RSM member firms provide audit and assurance, tax, consulting, and specialist advisory services to ambitious growing organisations around the globe. RSM member firms are underpinned by high quality standards and a common work ethic wherever they operate.

    RSM International does not offer professional services in its own name. Each member firm of RSM International is a legally separate and independent national firm and is not a member of one international partnership, and member firms are not legal partners with each other. One member firm is not responsible for the services or acts of any other member firm.
