Technology

Zmich says today’s clients are looking to leverage technology to gain a competitive advantage. RSM helps their clients achieve this goal by working with executives to create a strategic technology plan tailored to the specific needs of their business. Zmich says this plan includes conducting "current state, future state and gap analyses to yield a prioritized IT roadmap aligned towards accomplishing business objectives."

RSM has a special focus on a major concern for today’s modern executives – cybersecurity. Zmich says cybersecurity is cited by middle market business leaders as one of the foremost risks to their business. "We have been experiencing tremendous growth in our security and privacy services due to clients’ needs in this area," she says. "RSM is committed to being at the forefront of the evolving needs of middle market businesses." 

"It’s challenging to stay on top of the constantly changing technology landscape, and for our clients to hire and retain technology staff with the breadth and depth of skills necessary to drive their business goals. Many clients are choosing to move to the cloud, and/or outsource their infrastructure services to minimize their risk, and leverage a more cost effective operating model. RSM specializes in managed services, which includes outsourcing network and infrastructure management, as well as upgrading and/or optimizing Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) and Customer Relationship Management (CRM) solutions. By outsourcing these services, our clients can better plan their IT spend and manage their risk, increase uptime and productivity. RSM works across myriad platforms and systems and can make recommendations and outsourcing solutions when necessary. 

Accounting

Zmich says today’s clients are concerned about ongoing changes to the tax code, revenue recognition issues, lease accounting and global compliance. RSM consults with clients to keep them ahead of the game in a constantly evolving financial marketplace. 

RSM partners with local financial executives in several ways, including quarterly CFO meetings held in the Cincinnati area. These educational seminars focus on topical issues affecting CFOs.
