RSM pulls off coup with double partner swoop
Accountancy firm RSM has pulled off a coup by swooping for two new partners from rival firms.
Simon Browning and Michael McLaughlin will be based at RSM’s Nottingham office, and add to the firm’s two recently promoted tax partners – Leicester-based Sheetal Sanghvi and Nottingham-based Mike Plant.
Browning joins the RSM tax team from UHY Hacker Young. He brings over 20 years of experience working primarily with owner managed and private equity (PE) based businesses across the East Midlands region.
McLaughlin joins after 19 years with PwC, where he specialised in working with listed and PE-backed businesses with an international footprint.
Browning said: “I’m delighted to join RSM. The fundamental strengths of the business are what attracted me, not to mention the firm’s confidence in increased investment in these uncertain times – that’s exciting. It is a business that already enjoys great success and is well placed to continue to build on this.”
McLaughlin added: “I’m thrilled to be a part of the team. RSM is not only a business that enjoys a significant, diverse and growing market share at a national level, but one that offers a tax advisory practice that leads the East Midlands region in terms of its size and capability.”
Richard King, office managing partner for RSM in Nottingham, said: “I’m thrilled with our new appointments. Looking to the future, as the first-choice adviser to middle market leaders here in the East Midlands, our breadth of service line and sector capabilities, coupled with our unrivalled regional presence, make these appointments together with our future investment plans a very exciting prospect indeed. I look forward to working closely with Simon and Michael.
“At what is a very difficult time for businesses across the region, I’m confident that Simon and Michael will play a very significant role in supporting RSM’s clients through the ongoing crisis and beyond.”
