RSM Ranks First in Accounting Today’s 2026 VAR 100 List for 12th Consecutive Year
Recognition reflects RSM’s continued leadership in helping middle market clients modernize operations, scale technology solutions and accelerate growth
CHICAGO – (August 12, 2026) – RSM US LLP (“RSM”) – the leading provider of consulting, tax and assurance services for the middle market – has garnered the top spot in Accounting Today’s 2026 Value-Added Reseller (VAR) 100 list, marking the firm’s 12th consecutive year as the leader. This recognition underscores RSM’s market position in technology-enabled consulting, where AI strategy, practical guidance and integrated advisory capabilities help clients modernize operations, unlock new efficiencies and instill confidence in business decisions in a world of change.
According to Accounting Today’s 2026 VAR 100, clients are asking for strategic support beyond traditional software implementations as ERP and other business applications become more central to business strategy, especially amid AI-driven change, higher expectations for speed to time value, industry specific needs and pressure to demonstrate ROI. RSM is positioned to help clients meet these demands through integrated consulting capabilities across AI and analytics, software applications, business strategy, managed technology services and industry-focused advisory.
That value is especially clear as middle market organizations look for partners who can help them navigate more complex technology decisions and turn innovation into practical business outcomes. According to RSM's 2026 AI survey, 86% of organizations have integrated AI into operations, yet only 36% have fully embedded it across core business processes, highlighting the challenges of scaling AI across the enterprise.
“Holding the top position reinforces the confidence middle market clients place in RSM as they make technology-driven decisions that are strategic, timely and tied to measurable outcomes,” said Bjorn Hill, business applications leader at RSM. “As AI, data and core business systems become more central to how organizations operate, RSM enables clients to clarify priorities and move faster with confidence.”
