About RSM International
We are members of the RSM network, the seventh largest network of independent audit, tax and advisory firms in the world. RSM was formed in 1964, adopting its current name worldwide on 1 January 1993.
Our membership in RSM offers substantial benefits to our clients. We are able to call upon the services and expertise of member firms in over 800 offices across 120 countries.
RSM - An Award-winning Network
In September 2014, the network received the Network of The Year award, which recognizes networks that have demonstrated strong growth and operational excellence over the past 12 months. RSM admitted firms from 11 countries to its network in 2013, including Baker Tilly, the 7th largest firm in the UK. In 2013, the network posted a 5% increase in like-for-like revenues and had double-digit growth in cross-border business referrals.
In March 2013, RSM was awarded the prestigious Editor’s Special Award for Global Initiative of the Year at the International Accounting Bulletin annual awards.
The Editor’s Special Award was conceived specifically to recognise the outstanding achievement of the RSM network for its global initiative - RSM World Day – which was praised for being a unique and powerful cross-network initiative that enhanced both employee and client engagement. The judges highlighted the campaign as a shining example of how to successfully connect independent member firms in 70 countries under a common vision and set of values.
RSM World Day brought together RSM staff from around the world to take part in a wide variety of both external and internal communications activities. These included national and international advertising and PR, social and business events, volunteer and charity work and staff team building activities.
