RSM Guatemala

What RSM Guatemala does

RSM Guatemala operates as Orellana Sanchéz, Sazo & Asociados, S.C., a member firm of the RSM international network of independent accounting and advisory firms, trading under the RSM brand. The firm provides audit, assurance, tax, legal, and consulting services to local and international businesses operating in Central America. Its service portfolio spans traditional financial statement auditing, IT audit, business continuity consulting, risk management, IFRS compliance advisory, anti-money laundering services, ESG and sustainability advisory, and corporate legal services. The firm is part of a coordinated RSM Central America regional operation covering six countries (Guatemala, Costa Rica, El Salvador, Honduras, Nicaragua, and Panama) with six offices and a combined regional workforce of approximately 300 professional staff and 22 partners.

The firm's business model is a relationship-based professional services model typical of the Big-Four-adjacent accounting sector. Revenue is generated through engagement-based fees for audit, tax, and consulting work, with new client acquisition handled through direct relationship development, referrals, and a website-based Request for Proposal (RFP) submission process. The go-to-market motion is sales-led and targetted at enterprise and mid-market clients across Central America. The underlying technology stack is described as standard audit, tax, and consulting platforms integrated with RSM global network tools, with no proprietary software products or AI-native platform components—the value proposition is delivered through credentialed professional personnel rather than technology.

The firmographic data shows 58 employees for RSM Guatemala specifically, while the broader RSM Central America regional structure comprises 300 professional staff and 22 partners across the six offices. The firm was founded in 2015 as an RSM member firm, though the firmographic record also references 1989 as a founding year, likely reflecting the predecessor entity's history. RSM International Limited, registered in England and Wales, administers the global brand and network but does not exercise control over individual member firms, each of which operates as a separate legal entity. Pricing is not publicly disclosed and operates on quote-based engagement fees.
