THE FULL ACCOUNT -

RSM's local newsletter.

2025 is shaping up to be quite a roller coaster year.

With extreme weather events, trade wars, an election, and even a new pope, the news cycle has been relentless, making it challenging to keep track of important updates amidst the chaos.

For those of us living in regional Australia, it's tempting to tune it all out and enjoy the peace and quiet. To make it easier, the team here at Fremantle has hand picked some insights that we think you’ll find relevant.

As we step into a new financial year, we’re reflecting on the achievements of the past six months at our Fremantle office and looking ahead to what’s next.

We hope you enjoy reading this newsletter and find the contents useful and informative.

Best regards,

The team at RSM in Fremantle

This year has been a time of change, both for the world and for RSM Australia. On June 30, we bid goodbye to our Chief Executive Partner, Jamie O’Rourke.

Jamie began his career with RSM 34 years ago in the regional office of Goulburn before moving to Sydney in 1997. As our national leader for the past nine years, Jamie guided us through a period of significant growth and change, including managing the disruptions and challenges brought about by the pandemic. Throughout his tenure, he maintained and strengthened RSM’s strong presence in regional Australia, stating, “While we continue to grow across all areas, our regional footprint is unique and integral to our national identity.”

We are pleased to announce Robert Miano as our new Chief Executive Partner, effective July 1, 2025. 

With over 25 years of experience in audit and corporate advisory work, Robert is well-equipped to lead RSM Australia into the future.

Staff location changes:

Jess has been working remotely from the stunning Blue Mountains while she visits family. Melina will be doing the same in June, all the way from Germany. We love a flexible work/life balance!

Celebrating Ross' 25th anniversary at RSM, together with Jason, Pamela, Jo (Albany), and Tom (Rockingham). Resulting in over 135 years of service

Jess finally hit 100 blood donations.

Dan completed the Busselton 100 Triathlon, with his first half-ironman pending. Balancing training, work and family - great effort, Dan!

The team participated in the Walk for Autism, making an effort to walk during lunch breaks to get those steps up!
