How are we different?

Your long-established, quality-conscious and customer-focussed RSM Botswana renders audit, tax, advisory and consulting services differently.

• Our audit engagements observe auditing standards as a fundamental but minimum requirement; they expand to cover the expectations of those responsible for governance.  
• Our tax compliance procedures incorporate tax planning for future.  
• Our advisory division specialises in hand-holding while you invest and establish your business, way more than simply forming a company or opening a bank account or registering for taxes. The division has experts in action not only to prepare your annual or periodical financial statements but also to complement your staff in enhancing your organzation's accounting and finance procedures.
• Our information technology division is a pool of experts of Sage Accounting, Management, Payroll and Human Resource Software products and you get the products hosted if you like and installed and implemented in weeks.
• Our consulting division offers enterprise wide risk management services, enterprise management solutions and specialist training and coaching services in Sage Products, Internal Audit, Corporate Governance and Risk Management, besides preparing your business plans, valuations, finance and capital structure planning.

What you don't see on our balance sheet!
