Investment will integrate agentic AI to enhance performance, drive innovation and support continued market leadership

, /PRNewswire/ -- RSM US LLP ("RSM") – the leading provider of assurance, tax and consulting services for the middle market – today announced a $1 billion investment over the next three years as part of a significant expansion of its artificial intelligence (AI) strategy—accelerating innovation and delivering transformative value for both clients and professionals.

This investment integrates agentic AI platforms, intelligent systems that autonomously perform complex tasks alongside humans, across RSM's operations and services. This will further enhance efficiency and empower RSM professionals to deliver faster, smarter, higher quality and more strategic solutions – advancing client outcomes while driving the firm's commitment to innovation and a digitally enabled workforce.

Backed by global scale
The $1 billion investment comes as RSM prepares to complete a transatlantic merger, creating a partner-owned, multinational organization spanning the U.S., UK, Canada, Ireland, India and El Salvador—with 23,000 professionals and $5 billion in combined annual revenue. Together, the investment and upcoming merger reinforce RSM's digital leadership, paving the way for a compelling, global future and establishing the firm as a leader in AI innovation—transforming how it helps the middle market solve complex challenges and seize emerging opportunities.

Shaping the future of the middle market
"AI continues to be a strategic imperative for RSM, and our significant investment enables us to move decisively from exploration to execution, driving real outcomes for our people and our clients through responsible, business-led solutions," said Brian Becker, managing partner & CEO with RSM US LLP. "We're not simply adopting new technologies—we're transforming how we deliver value, combining deeper insights, greater agility and an unwavering focus on quality and impact." 

Today's announcement highlights a series of strategic investments RSM is making over the next three years to help the middle market build the necessary frameworks, operating models and technological infrastructure to harness AI opportunities. Key initiatives include:

"RSM is leading the charge in digital transformation, and agentic AI is central to our strategy," said Sergio de la Fe, enterprise digital leader and partner with RSM US LLP. "Our $1 billion investment is fueling groundbreaking innovation to empower our talent and clients to achieve unprecedented performance. This commitment to our digital first strategy reflects a sustained journey that will continue to evolve well beyond this initial investment as we drive market-leading solutions and redefine how the middle market navigates the future."

Building on a foundation of AI innovation
RSM's agentic AI strategy centers on developing "AI flows"—purpose-built workflows that enable RSM professionals to leverage and optimize AI agents and generative AI capabilities. These AI flows will seamlessly integrate into existing workflows, enhancing quality, efficiency and value for RSM's clients and talent, while driving measurable improvements in quality, business performance and effectiveness.

This approach builds on RSM's established AI capabilities, which have already improved how its professionals access insights and deliver greater value and outcomes for clients. Examples include:

Leading AI innovation for middle market success
With deep advisory experience, RSM is positioned to drive continued transformative growth by blending human insights and experience with advanced AI technology. RSM's AI initiatives are already delivering measurable improvements in operational efficiency and decision-making for middle market clients, including:   

Strategic alliances powering AI growth
RSM's AI strategy is strengthened by key relationships with leading technology innovators, accelerating the firm's ability to scale AI solutions across industries and service lines while advancing its innovation agenda to increase outcomes across client engagements:

• Blue J – RSM uses Blue J's generative AI platform to accelerate complex tax research, streamline memo drafting and improve workflow efficiency—while keeping RSM professionals at the center of client advice.

Empowering talent and AI innovation from within
RSM's AI Center of Excellence is a cornerstone of the firm's enterprise AI strategy. It defines the AI roadmap and drives responsible innovation through solution development, governance and firm-wide enablement—catalyzing AI adoption across teams and service delivery.

Building on this foundation, RSM's annual innovation event, Next Wave—held yearly since 2018 and kicking off again in late June—focuses on the theme "The Next Wave of Service: Intelligent, Intuitive, AI-enabled." The event reflects RSM's digital first approach by empowering employees to adopt AI tools that augment decision-making, streamline processes and deliver greater value to clients.

RSM sees AI as a key driver for businesses seeking to stay competitive in a fast-evolving landscape. With a long-term vision guiding its strategy, the firm continues to advance its own operations and help clients realize greater success through intelligent, AI-driven solutions.
