Industry focus
RSM’s industry knowledge spans distinct industries: financial services, industrials, technology, media, telecommunications, consumer products, life sciences, healthcare, construction and real estate, nonprofit and education, government services, and business and professional services.
RSM’s senior analysts dedicate significant time to analyzing trends in these industries and sharing insights about those trends with clients and their colleagues to enhance value. This insight empowers RSM to serve clients at every point of their business evolution and maintain steady support during each step.
On top of those industries, we have identified private equity, public companies, family enterprise, government contracting and foreign direct investment as the five distinct channels where our clients are most active.
Our deep understanding of both industry and channel reflects the nuances of how our clients see themselves: a technology company, for example, that also serves as a government contractor will have different needs and challenges than one that doesn’t work with the government but is focused on attracting private capital to reach competitive scale.
This approach reflects how our clients operate in the real world—shaped by competition, market pressures, the regulatory environment and growth priorities. We bring this perspective to every assurance and consulting engagement, allowing us to anticipate challenges before they emerge.
By pairing extensive industry knowledge with intentional channel understanding, RSM brings a connected, holistic approach to client needs that is as complex as our clients themselves.
A client’s changing growth journey
RSM combines practical insight with a relationship-led approach so our clients receive clear guidance for stronger performance; this is especially important for private equity–backed organizations, whose investors demand speed and clarity to hit growth targets.
We had a long-standing relationship with a large behavioral health platform for regular tax work for more than a decade before the organization was acquired by the private equity sponsor. During that time, our teams built a strong understanding of the health platform’s operations, regulatory environment and growth goals. RSM stayed engaged with both management and the sponsor during this transition.
As the organization evolved, RSM continued to invest in the relationship with a team of dedicated private equity and healthcare specialists who remained connected to the sponsor every step of the way.
When the organization later reassessed its service model, RSM was ready, armed with extensive knowledge of the behavioral health industry, the business’s operations and challenges, and the portfolio priorities of the PE firm, setting us apart. That foundation supported a successful ongoing engagement built on trust.
