Clinical trial expense management

A managed end-to-end solution across clinical trial finance, accounting and operations

An opportunity to optimize clinical trial expense management utilizing industry-leading technology

While supporting our life sciences clients, we’ve seen firsthand the challenges of managing clinical trial expenses. Our clients have said the process is:

  • A high-risk area for auditors
  • Manual, Excel-based and often lacks connections between finance and clinical operations
  • Challenging to forecast due to the uniqueness of clinical trials and inevitability of change orders

Informed by first-hand experience working with clinical research organizations and biopharmas, RSM’s clinical trial expense management solution merges our industry experience with optimized processes and advanced technology to alleviate complex back-office burdens, drive finance transformation and enable business success.

RSM can be your one-stop provider covering all phases of the life sciences company life cycle, from drug discovery to post-commercialization, offering technical accounting, management consulting, risk advisory and technology consulting.
