RSM’s UK revenues up by over a quarter while post-tax profits rise by more than half

Consolidated UK company profits grew by 52 per cent to £19m, while profits of RSM UK Group LLP rose by 39 per cent to £45m. In addition, the average Group LLP partner (member) profit rose by 10 per cent to £362,000.

The results are the first to be published since the firm changed its name from Baker Tilly to RSM in October 2015, uniting it under a single common brand with RSM audit, tax and consulting firms around the world.

The figures also reflect a full year’s contribution to revenues and profits of the former Tenon business acquired in September 2013.

All service lines showed double-digit growth:

Laurence Longe, RSM’s UK managing partner, said “This year’s record financial results for the firm show not only the full impact of the absorption of the former Tenon business, but also reflect underlying organic growth in multiple revenue streams following the successful completion of the strategic restructuring of the firm.

“The major structural developments of the last two years, along with the recent highly successful launch of our new global brand have laid the foundations for RSM to truly become the first-choice adviser to middle market leaders, globally.”

Robert Ross, regional managing partner for RSM in Scotland, said: “The last twelve months have been successful for us in Scotland, highlighted by our entry into the Aberdeen market following our successful merger with Simpson Forsyth. We have also continued to attract new partners and directors in our Restructuring Advisory, Corporate Finance and Consulting practice, where we are seeing increased demand by new and existing clients.

‘Our growth plans for the region are straightforward. We will continue to invest in and grow our own people, and complement this with further recruitment of individuals, specialist teams and quality firms. We continue to focus on sustainable, profitable, quality growth so as to ensure we can continue to strengthen our offering to clients in Scotland wherever they are growing, domestically, UK wide and internationally.”
