What keeps me at RSM year after year are the opportunities I have been presented and the individualized focus I felt on achieving my career goals and objectives. RSM has provided me the opportunity to truly take hold of my career and run with it.
Neely Rose, senior manager
I can attribute most of my initial success to the constant support provided to me during my first project and getting outside of my comfort zone to learn new skills and tools. From having questions answered to getting feedback on project work, I always received the support I needed during my onboarding experience.
Andrew Richards, consulting senior associate
From early on, I was working with managers and partners in our office and across the firm who truly supported me and encouraged me in meeting my career goals. There were many times I heard 'I have a great opportunity for you.'
Anna Kyer, partner
When I started, my career advisor and the national leader of my practice took it upon themselves to make sure that I was taken care of and that I was doing all the right things to get me to this point in my career.

Professional development
We’re focused on helping our professionals become first-choice advisors to clients, colleagues and communities by helping them develop their leadership, advisory and specialized skills. And we know it takes more than formal education to build and hone your skills. At RSM, we look at development holistically—by providing a mix of education and traditional training, exposure to a supportive community that provides feedback and coaching, on-the-job experiences to practice your skills, and an inclusive RSM environment.
Our career development framework helps you understand what success looks like in your current role, how you can progress in your career and links directly to the development tools to help you get there. It also helps you align your contributions to firm strategy and enables intentional performance and career conversations with your career advisor and others throughout the year.
Through RSM-developed courses and partnerships with leading training groups, we offer hundreds of educational courses to ensure you can meet state and national licensing requirements by taking training relevant to your role and career goals.
The CPA credential is vital to both you and our business. We strongly encourage all associates on a CPA path to obtain their license as early as possible in their careers. While achieving a CPA certification ultimately falls on your shoulders, we’re with you all the way providing encouragement and support through:
Exam preparation materials through Becker CPA review
Expense reimbursement for exam and application fees
Time off to prepare for and take the exam
Financial rewards for those who pass the exam within 18 months of college graduation
If you join us directly from campus, you will participate in our Starting Your Career at RSM Experience (SY-CARE) program. This 12-month experience incorporates all aspects of our first-choice advisor development strategy, with a focus on developing your leadership, advisory and specialized skills through a combination of educational programs, experiences and exposure. SY-CARE helps create an inclusive environment that will set you up for a rewarding RSM experience.
At key points in your career, you’ll receive additional development support through focused programs and conferences to help you build confidence, skills and expertise. In addition, our executive programs provide aspiring partners/managing directors with the tools they need to successfully lead RSM forward.
Start building your future at RSM!
