RSM’s UK revenues up by over a quarter while post-tax profits rise by over 50%
Audit, tax and consulting firm RSM (formerly Baker Tilly) today announced a 26% growth in UK annual revenues to £292m for its 2015 financial year ending 31 March.
Consolidated UK company profits grew by 52% to £19m, while profits of RSM UK Group LLP rose by 39% to £45m. In addition, the average Group LLP partner (member) profit rose by 10% to £362k.
The results are the first to be published since the firm adopted the RSM name in October 2015, uniting it under a single common brand with RSM audit, tax and consulting firms around the world.
The figures also reflect a full year’s contribution to revenues and profits of the former Tenon business acquired in September 2013.
All service lines showed double-digit growth:
– Tax and advisory grew by 10% to £121m
– Audit and assurance grew by 15% to £76m
– Restructuring advisory grew by 69% to £44m
– Risk assurance grew by 86% to £22m
– Corporate finance grew by 29% to £21m
– Consulting – currently the firm’s fastest growing service line – grew by 195% to £8m.
Laurence Longe, RSM’s UK managing partner, said:
“This year’s record financial results for the firm show not only the full impact of the absorption of the former Tenon business, but also reflect underlying organic growth in multiple revenue streams following the successful completion of the strategic restructuring of the firm.
“The major structural developments of the last two years, along with the recent highly successful launch of our new global brand have laid the foundations for RSM to truly become the first-choice adviser to middle market leaders, globally.”
