When the founder of RSM Singapore Chio Kian Huat started the firm in 1985, he made it clear that the firm is not to be a family business. In those days, many founders of professional firms would pass the baton to their children. Mr Chio reckoned that this would stifle the growth of the firm, and made it a policy not to allow family members of any partner in the firm to take on permanent employment positions. 

Over the years, the Senior Partners took great pains to search, recruit and groom future leaders of the firm. They looked for talents with the same cultural fit, who share the same purpose with the firm and have the passion to serve businesses. With banks and Big 4 firms dangling bigger remuneration packages, it has been an arduous task to attract the brightest talents to join a home-grown firm.

Fast forward to today, after more than 36 years of growing the firm,  a structured succession plan to continuously groom our next generation of leaders has been put in place.

Leaders of the firm undergo a gruelling process where they are meticulously picked, groomed, stretched and tested. Only those meeting our high standards in integrity and quality work, who exhibit our values, with a true passion to help businesses, grow our team, and build the firm for the future, will succeed.

Leadership renewal is a continuous journey. The firm is constantly on the lookout for talents who believe in our cause to join us and continue the legacy of the senior leadership whose vision, selfless and tireless efforts have built the foundation of RSM Singapore.
