Delivering value through financial strengths

The Firm reported strong financial results for the fiscal year ended 30 June 2025, reflecting solid operational performance and strategic growth initiatives. Total revenue increased by 37% year-on-year to £3.6mn, driven by a significant increase in audits of other entities, primarily in on-line gaming and crypto. This underscores the Firm’s resilience and continued momentum in a dynamic market environment. Importantly, this reflects the quality of work our teams deliver to our clients.

This year is also our ninth anniversary with the RSM brand. We are delighted to form part of a strong and pioneering network. RSM operates as a ‘unified, global brand’, ensuring clients benefit from shared knowledge and best practice wherever they do business as well as being able to rely on quality local experience and understanding.

The Global RSM network reported global revenues of US$10billion for the year ended 31 December 2024, representing a 6% year-on-year growth. This represents the trust of our clients, the talent of our people, and the significant positive impact of RSM, both locally and globally.

Global fee income for assurance services rose by 15% to US$3.2bn, while RSM’s tax revenues jumped by 11% to US$2.9bn. Consulting revenue totalled US$3.9bn, representing the strongest performing service line for the third consecutive year. All regions showed impressive growth. In addition, headcount globally has risen to 65,000.

RSM is reinforcing its position as the leading global provider of professional services to the middle market. Four member firms in Europe completed seven acquisitions to power growth across the continent, expanding our footprint and enhancing our capabilities across important sectors. RSM US and RSM UK announced their pursuit of a merger, with both firms taking another significant step towards strengthening their global client offering and delivery of long-term growth.
