Shortly after, he added one-man practices in Davenport, Burlington and Iowa City, Iowa. After 10 years of operation, George Hansen and Keith Dunn were admitted as partners, and in 1937 the firm changed its name to McGladrey, Hansen, Dunn & Company.
During the next 40 years, the firm expanded into 29 offices in eight states and in 1966 began offering consulting services. Ira McGladrey, a leader in the public accounting profession at both the state and national levels, stayed active in the firm until his death in 1952.
In November 1978, the firm merged with Broeker Hendrickson & Company to become McGladrey Hendrickson & Company. Headquartered in Minneapolis, Broeker Hendrickson & Company had 16 offices in five states. With the merger in place, McGladrey Hendrickson & Company was able to serve clients throughout the Midwest.
Six years later, the firm merged with A.M. Pullen and Company, based in North Carolina. A.M. Pullen and Company had 26 offices located in seven states along the eastern seaboard. As McGladrey Hendrickson & Pullen, the firm's offices extended from the east coast to the west coast, north to Duluth, Minn., and south to Ft. Lauderdale, Fla. For simplicity's sake, the firm changed its name to McGladrey & Pullen in 1987.
In the summer of 1999, McGladrey sold its non-attest assets and business to H&R Block Inc. RSM McGladrey Inc. was established as an indirect, wholly owned subsidiary of the Block organization. To ensure independence, McGladrey & Pullen was maintained as a separate entity offering audit and attest services. McGladrey & Pullen was owned and managed by McGladrey & Pullen partners, independent of RSM McGladrey.
The firm acquired American Express Tax and Business Services, which doubled the size of the firm.
The firm became the title sponsor for the McGladrey Classic, a PGA Tour event.
McGladrey & Pullen purchased RSM McGladrey from H&R Block, reuniting the two firms as a leading partner-owned provider of assurance, tax and consulting services focused on the middle market.
The firm announced the relocation of its headquarters to Chicago. McGladrey LLP firm also launched its culture, diversity and inclusion efforts led by Rich Caturano.
The firm established the RSM US Foundation, a tax-exempt public charity dedicated to building tomorrow's middle market leaders. The foundation supports educational outcomes through programs that help individuals develop career paths to become entrepreneurs or middle market business leaders.
McGladrey changed its name to RSM US LLP and united with fellow firms in the RSM International network under the brand RSM. Proud of its heritage, the firm remained committed to Ira McGladrey's original concept of service--predicated on partners' personal attention to client needs--as it continued its quest to take the middle market to the global market.
The firm celebrated its 90th anniversary of serving the middle market. As part of the celebration, the firm inducted its first class of Hall of Fame members and launched 90-90-9: Pursue Your Passion, an employee contest that awarded nine employees with $90,000 ($10,000 each) to fulfill their passions. Not surprisingly, given our focus on stewardship, each of the nine winners chose to use this opportunity to give back to the community.
The firm joined the U.S. Chamber of Commerce to announce a new partnership dedicated to increasing awareness of the business and economic issues affecting the middle market. We also launched RSM Canada with an office 300-strong in the heart of Toronto’s financial district. We received numerous awards/recognitions for our firm’s workplace culture, including being named by Working Mother magazine as one of its 2017 Working Mother 100 Best Companies.

We expanded our consulting services by joining forces with Explore Consulting. In conjunction with the PGA Tour, we expanded the RSM Birdies Fore Love charitable giving platform to enhance charitable donations raised through The RSM Classic. We launched our cutting-edge Industry Eminence Program, which positions analysts to understand, forecast and communicate economic, business and technology trends shaping the industries we serve. And we expanded our presence in Canada with the addition of three Alberta firms.
We were named by Great Place to Work and Fortune as one of their 2019 Best Workplaces for Diversity, highlighting our firm’s continued commitment to diversity and inclusion. We joined forces with St. Petersburg-based Gregory, Sharer and Stuart. We celebrated the 10th anniversary of The RSM Classic, an RSM-sponsored PGA Tour event, which raises millions of dollars for those in need each year.

And we joined 177 other companies in signing the Business Statement for Transgender Equality.
In response to the global pandemic, we implemented a COVID-19 Resource Center to provide middle market business leaders with timely and relevant information and resources to help them navigate through unprecedented times. We boosted our Salesforce practice by joining forces with MondayCall LLC, and also joined forces with the leaders and staff of Tate & Tryon P.C, and its wholly owned subsidiary, T3 Information Systems LLC. We held our 11th annual RSM Volunteer Week, with nearly 2,000 people participating in more than 60 virtual volunteer activities across the country and in Canada, due to COVID-19 pandemic restrictions. We selected six individuals to represent RSM in CEO Action for Racial Equity, a fellowship program launched by CEO Action for Diversity & Inclusion™. We joined Junior Achievement USA to launch JA Take Stock in Your Future®, a program that helps high school students understand the inner workings of the stock market, and helps demystify investing. We joined a consortium of more than 80 supporting companies, launched by Ascend, the largest nonprofit Pan-Asian membership organization for business professionals and executives in North America, to address the adverse impacts of the COVID-19 outbreak.
We were honored by Great Place to Work® and People magazine as one of the 2021 People Companies that Care®.
