Jayesh is the National Director, Hospitals, and Director of the Risk Advisory division in Melbourne. Jayesh is focused on providing tailored client service solutions.

He understands his client’s key drivers and strategy and helps to develop messaging for Boards, Audit Committees and Executive Team that delivers an impact. A skill that he has developed over 22 years of local and international experience. Jayesh strives to build long-term relationships that focus on realising valuable outcomes for his clients.

Jayesh specialises in assisting his clients to better manage their risk and improve their internal control environments. By working in collaboration with Management to achieve continuous improvement, he provides Boards and Audit Committees with a level of comfort on how risks are being managed within the organisation. 

Drawing together RSM’s collective experience of over 25 years in practice servicing Hospitals, including 6 Metro Hospitals, over 25 Regional and Rural Health Services, Jayesh has a deep understanding of this sector.  

Jayesh and the national Health specialist team deliver a broad range of services to Hospitals including, internal audit, risk management, assurance, and compliance services

"I love to learn more about my client's business and their operations as this, not only increases my personal knowledge base but also puts me in a better position to provide practical recommendations to my clients. I also really value the professional relationships that I have built over the years that have been mutually beneficial, and in some cases have evolved into friendships".

Outside of work, Jayesh loves to travel and play soccer socially with friends. He admits he is useless for the music category at trivia night, as he cannot remember an artist or song title to save his life.

Jayesh Kapitan is a Partner of RSM Australia Partners and a Director of RSM Australia Pty Ltd.
