• Consulting revenues rise 15% as Member Firms support pandemic response
• New Member Firms appointed in Denmark, Chile, Paraguay, Zambia, and Kazakhstan
• 12 new offices opened as global team numbers reached 48,000

Consulting services saw the highest growth, with an increase of 15%. This was driven by the demand for management and business consulting, IT consulting, and risk management. RSM supported middle-market business leaders in their response to the pandemic, the reorganization of their business operations, and the digitalization of their infrastructure.

Significant audit client wins in 2019 contributed to a 10% increase in audit revenue in 2020. Audit services were further enhanced by launching an innovative online collaboration tool to enhance the client experience, enable efficiencies in audit, compliance, and advisory services, and offer integrated data analytics capabilities.

Jean Stephens, Global Chief Executive Officer, commented: “2020 has been a challenging year, but our growth reflects the agility and resilience we have shown in the face of adversity, adapting our digital infrastructure in line with rapid change, being purposeful in our decision-making and prioritizing the wellbeing of our colleagues and business security of our clients.
