• Newly combined entity sees RSM become a top-10 sized provider of accounting services in Croatia for the first time.
  • Merged firm (RSM Croatia Savjetovanje d.o.o.) to provide full service line offering, combining RSM in Croatia’s existing assurance specialism and UHY Croatia’s tax and consulting services. 
  • Croatian firm’s value proposition enhanced through new nationwide presence and enlarged team of 57 experts.

RSM, the leading provider of assurance, tax and consulting services to middle market businesses, has announced a merger of its Croatian firm with UHY Croatia, effective Tuesday 10th November 2026.

The merger of two established practices unites RSM in Croatia’s longstanding audit practice in Zagreb and northern Croatia with UHY Croatia’s more than 30 years of experience in tax, accounting, financial advisory and consulting service provision.

Together, the firm will be led by Krešimir Budiša, formerly of UHY Croatia and Ivan Marković of the existing RSM member firm in Croatia. Both will serve as the newly merged firm’s Managing Partners.

With 57 experts operating out of offices in Zagreb, Split and Koprivnica, RSM in Croatia will have a nationwide presence with broadened service delivery to domestic businesses and across borders to international investors.

This development adds to an extensive existing track record of both firms delivering value to clients across a range of industries. Supporting clients in the development of technology parks, business zones and cultural and universities, experts have guided clients to secure around €300million in transformative project funding.

The growth in demand for services in Croatia matches demand experienced by RSM in Central Europe, where the network’s revenue grew 20 per cent year-on-year and 41 per cent since the launch of its 2030 global strategy in 2022.

Moreover, RSM’s Croatian expansion builds further European momentum following announcements of AS RSM Latvia and RSM Lithuania joining the network in 2026.

More broadly, the merger emboldens RSM’s Croatian presence, adding to the network’s 12 per cent year-on-year revenue growth in 2025 across Europe, Middle East and Africa (EMEA), and its 86 per cent revenue growth across the region in the last three years.

E.J. Nedder, Chief Executive Officer of RSM International, said:

“We are delighted to welcome this merger, and look forward to the firm’s development under the expert stewardship of Krešimir and Ivan.

“This merger marks an important and intentional step in strengthening RSM’s presence in Croatia and across our wider European region. By bringing together two established firms, we are expanding our scale and ability to better serve our clients locally, nationally and globally.

“Central to our growth within Europe and across the EMEA region has been the combination of our firms’ local expertise with regional and global intelligence. This enables RSM to develop tailored solutions that address our clients’ specific market needs, which continues to be our relentless focus.”

Krešimir Budiša, Managing Partner at RSM in Croatia, said:

“Providing strengthened services to businesses across Croatia, and access to expertise across RSM’s global network in more than 120 countries, is a compelling offering to our current and future clients.

“This exemplifies our value proposition, and is underpinned by our strong focus on delivering these services to a consistently highest quality, and with relevancy to our clients’ needs.

“More widely, we are excited to support RSM’s direction for regional growth and working proactively alongside current and future Member Firms in order to achieve this.”

Ivan Marković, Managing Partner at RSM in Croatia, added:

“This merger is particularly impactful given it unites two firms with complementary expertise. RSM’s firm in Croatia brings a long-standing and respected audit practice with offices in Zagreb and Koprivnica.

“Meanwhile, the UHY team brings extensive tax, consulting, accounting and European Union funds expertise and a strong position in the Adriatic region. 

“Working together we now have the scale, geographic coverage and full service offering to build RSM into a leading provider of professional services in Croatia and support the network across the wider region.”
