What RSM Australia does

RSM Australia is the Australian member firm of the RSM Global network, delivering assurance, tax and consulting services primarily to middle-market businesses. Founded in 1922 and headquartered in Perth, the firm employs between 1,001 and 5,000 people and operates as an independently owned franchise within a network of 56,000 professionals across 500+ offices in 120 countries. The network is administered by RSM International Limited (a private company registered in England and Wales) with the brand owned by RSM International Association, a Swiss association headquartered in Zug.

The firm's service portfolio spans audit and assurance (including IFRS advisory and listed company audits), tax compliance and planning, consulting (finance transformation, NetSuite implementation, risk advisory, IT system design, transactions), digital services (data analytics and managed services for accounting, payroll, compliance and IT), ESG and sustainability advisory, financial due diligence, legal services, outsourcing, restructuring, risk advisory (AML, fraud prevention, ERM, internal audit, regulatory compliance) and wealth management. Its core proprietary technology is RSM Luca, a global digital audit ecosystem that integrates sophisticated technologies with auditor expertise to deliver technology-enabled audits and actionable business insights.

RSM Australia generates revenue through professional services delivery under a horizontal middle-market segmentation strategy, with no publicly disclosed pricing. Go-to-market is primarily direct client engagement via RFPs, firm contact and network referrals, supplemented by thought leadership content, podcasts (Global Spotlight), industry events and PR/earned media. RSM Australia is governed as an independent member firm with no parent-subsidiary relationship with the network administrator, and CEO Robert Miano leads the 2026 senior leadership agenda aligned with staffing and business planning.

Core offering

RSM Australia is an independent member firm of the RSM Global network that delivers professional services to middle market businesses. Its portfolio spans audit and assurance, tax compliance and planning, consulting, digital services, ESG and sustainability advisory, financial due diligence, legal services, outsourcing, restructuring, risk advisory, and wealth management. Service delivery is supported by RSM Luca, the network's proprietary global digital audit ecosystem.

Product overview

RSM Australia operates as part of the RSM Global network, offering a comprehensive portfolio of professional services rather than a unified software product. The core offering centers on RSM Luca, the firm's proprietary global digital audit ecosystem that powers technology-enabled audit and assurance delivery. The service portfolio spans audit and assurance, consulting (including NetSuite implementation), digital services (data analytics and managed services), ESG and sustainability services, financial due diligence, legal services, outsourcing, restructuring, risk advisory, tax services, and wealth management. These services function as distinct but integrated practice areas within the professional services firm, not as modular software products with pricing tiers or feature comparability.
