RSM US LLP

Employees say: "Although I only started five months ago, everyone who I have interacted with in the company has gone above and beyond to be welcoming. The people of RSM are what make it so special in my opinion. There is no such thing as a dumb question, and managers are understanding that there is a learning curve to a lot of the work. Overall, I feel like the company is invested in me as a professional and as an individual, and is an outstanding culture to be a part of."

Employees say:

"I really appreciate that RSM offers paid parenting leave for foster parents accepting a new placement. I haven't heard of any other company that offers this benefit and this has been hugely helpful in balancing my parenting and work responsibilities."

Employees say:

"The culture is unmatched. The people here embody the culture and really live out our values and goals. When I have a question or need help there hasn't been one person who wasn't willing to help point me in the right direction."

Employees say: 

"A lot of companies say they care about the well-being of their employees and the communities we live and work in, but RSM is the first company I have worked for that really demonstrates they care — between consistently sending employees surveys requesting their opinions on topics before making decisions, to our community and volunteer initiatives, they demonstrate that they do really care through action, not just words." 

The assurance, tax, and consulting service continues to expand support-program offerings to its more than 17,000 employees. Building upon its already flexible workplace culture, RSM surveyed staff and decided to set no limits on remote, hybrid, or in-person workdays. 

Launched in May 2023, the Women in RSM series, in conjunction with the firm’s 10-year-old culture, diversity, and inclusion celebration, spotlights women within the organization to make them feel seen and supported. Sponsored by its ¡Hola!, InspirAsian, and multicultural employee network groups, RSM’s conversational language program’s second cohort launched in July 2023 with the goal of increasing linguistic proficiency among staff who work with international clients.  

RSM is a signatory of the CEO Action for Diversity & Inclusion initiative and selected six participants last year to work alongside other firms in the creation of public policies and corporate strategies that promote racial equity. Four fellows are participating this year. 

RSM’s annual stewardship campaign, the Power of Love, selects local youth-focused charities to volunteer for and support. The 2023 campaign raised more than $4.7 million, bringing the grand total raised to more than $41 million, which has so far been distributed to 760 charities.
