Courtney Mitchum is a Director in the Business Advisory division at RSM Sydney.

Since joining RSM as a graduate in 2014, Courtney has built a reputation for delivering expert commercial and tax advice to a diverse client base across industries including aged care, childcare, and property and construction.

With over a decade of experience, Courtney specialises in advising small to medium-sized businesses on complex accounting and tax matters, financial structuring, and long-term succession and estate planning. He is known for his proactive and highly responsive approach to client service, always seeking new opportunities to add value and deliver meaningful outcomes.

Courtney supports clients through a wide range of business scenarios, including structuring for asset protection, buy-sell transactions, cash flow management, and growth planning. His strategic insight is backed by deep technical expertise across CGT concessions, SMSFs, and annual compliance.

Courtney has played a pivotal role in helping clients manage business acquisitions and restructures. He recently advised a client in the construction sector on a group restructure, enhancing both asset protection and tax efficiency through the implementation of family trusts and corporate entities. His hands-on involvement gave the client peace of mind, knowing their wealth was safeguarded and future opportunities were better structured.

Courtney is particularly passionate about supporting SMEs through transitions, challenges, and growth. He brings clarity to complex financial scenarios and partners with clients long-term to achieve their goals.

Courtney has delivered presentations at industry events, educational institutions, and client workshops, sharing practical insights on tax, compliance, and business strategy. He is highly regarded for his ability to break down complex concepts into actionable advice.

Before joining RSM, Courtney worked in retail at David Jones and Franklins—experiences that shaped his strong work ethic and people-first approach.
