Pretty good place to work as a CPA - as far as CPA firms go

Anonymous employee

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

It's a firm that's big enough so you can learn a lot about either auditing or tax, but no so big that you're just a number. I would say that in comparison to the "big 4" accounting firms, people generally have a slightly lighter workload, which is nice. In addition, each office does fun things for its employees like sponsoring sporting leagues or paying for happy hours.

Cons

Like with any public accounting firm, work hours can be long when busy season hits. RSM suffers from some of the same problems that plague public accounting in general: a grueling work schedule, an uptight corporate culture, and a problem with work/life balance. I think maybe RSM is a little better at some of these issues than other CPA firms but it still has a long way to go.

Business Outlook

Pros

They put great importance into employees getting a good work life balance.They have generous PTO and summer time hours. Compensation & benefits are very competitive. They provide a lot of help and support with career opportunities and personal growth. Educational opportunities are very good. They have training on a variety of areas on an ongoing basis. The offer good feedback on employee performance and continuing advice and suggestions for improvement.

Cons

Sometimes, they have an over reliance on charge hours. Technology could do with an upgrade. Computers can be a little slow. Adding a second monitor would increase productivity and make for a work experience.
