RSM client experience

Experience the power of being understood

At RSM, it’s all about creating a great client experience. 

We strive to instill confidence in a world of change by building strong relationships based on a deep understanding of our clients' businesses and aspirations, and delivering value through relevant ideas, insights and solutions.

This client-centric focus differentiates us from other firms because it starts with each individual client—we seek to understand their business aspirations and then use perspectives gathered from other clients and our past experience to help them confidently navigate an ever-changing market environment to reach their goals.

Measuring success

Our client experience measurement system is an integrated methodology developed by RSM to solicit client feedback and identify where we can make improvements to enhance the quality of our client experience for individual clients and across the firm. This system is designed to set RSM apart from our competitors by keeping the focus on our clients and what's important to them.

The information gathered through each component of this measurement system brings together a multitude of perspectives on criteria such as the capabilities of our people, the quality of our services, how we communicate and whether we provide additional value beyond the initial engagement. The system includes the following measurement tools: post-engagement surveys, a client loyalty tracking study and voice-of-client interviews.
