Tailored solutions for accounting and operations systems
Navigating the landscape of business software is complex.
With thousands of apps and platforms on the market, finding the right fit for your specific needs can feel overwhelming.
At RSM, we provide independent, platform-agnostic advice. We are not tied to a single vendor, meaning our recommendations are based entirely on what works best for your business.
Whether you're platformed on the Xero ecosystem, Oracle NetSuite, Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central, a niche industry solution or something else entirely, our focus is on your outcomes.
Gain clarity on your current technology, identify gaps, and select systems that support your long-term growth.
Our services
Explore the dropdowns to learn about how our systems advisory services can help your business.
A successful digital strategy starts with understanding. With a system review, our team will map out your existing technology ecosystem, business processes and pain points. We will work with you to identify risks, gaps and opportunities and determine the future state you would like to achieve.
This process ensures your IT roadmap is grounded in real business needs and sets a clear path for growth, integration, and efficiency.
Through workshops and analysis, we provide:
- A detailed findings report.
- Recommendations for immediate wins as well as medium or long-term improvements.
- Current and future state ecosystem diagrams.
- Risk, gap and opportunity analysis.
- Evaluation criteria guide future system selection.
- Reliable cost estimates.
Choosing the right technology is a critical investment. The wrong system can cost you time, money, and productivity.
At RSM, we make this process simple, strategic, and stress-free. Our structured system selection service helps you avoid costly mistakes by aligning technology decisions with your specific needs and goals. Whether you're extending the Xero ecosystem, implementing a new ERP, or evaluating industry-specific software, we help you make the right choice at the right time.
We offer three targeted approaches to suit your timeline and budget:
1. Fit/Gap analysis
- Best for: Organisations validating an existing solution shortlist.

- Outcome: We review your current system or shortlisted options against your requirements to provide a clear recommendation.
2. Accelerated downselect

- Duration: 4–6 weeks.
- Outcome: We define critical requirements, shortlist vendors quickly, and score them to recommend the best-fit solution.
3. Comprehensive downselect

- Outcome: A rigorous process including detailed requirements gathering, vendor demonstrations, and total cost analysis.
