Harnessing the power of RSM’s people to drive innovation and transformation in the middle market

RSM, the leading global network of audit, tax and consulting firms focused on the middle market, held its 2018 World Conference in Toronto, Canada from 4-8 November 2018. The event brought together more than 250 RSM leaders from over 70 countries around the world.

Themed ‘Tomorrow’s RSM’, the 2018 World Conference, offered insight into how RSM is embracing emerging technologies, new ways of working and alternative client services – with an emphasis on the future of continued success and global growth. It focused on harnessing the power of RSM’s people to drive innovation and transformation in the middle market in light of headwinds such as global risk, trade wars and tax implications of the digital revolution. RSM Ireland Management Consulting Partner, Terry McAdam, delivered a skills session on NetSuite.

  • RSM Ireland also received an award for having the second largest increase of outbound referred work in the year 2017 – 2018. 

The conference was hosted by RSM Canada, one of the network’s newest firms having joined in 2017, and was chaired by José Gómez-León, partner and management consulting director with RSM Puerto Rico.
