ATLANTA – (March 28, 2025) – Aprio and RSM US LLP have entered into an agreement for Aprio to acquire RSM’s Professional Services+ (“PS+”) practice operating in the U.S. and Canada. The transaction is expected to close on April 30, 2025, pending satisfaction of customary conditions.
The PS+ practice offers specialized resources, insights and integrated solutions to help professional services firms grow, thrive and feel confident in a rapidly changing world. The practice serves almost 80 firms across the U.S. and Canada and provides resources and advisory services related to strategy and leadership, talent development, business processes and operations, and access to group buying solutions.
“It is an honor to welcome the PS+ practice, clients and team to Aprio. RSM has provided an exceptional platform for the past four decades for the PS+ practice and we are committed to establishing a strong foundation to grow the practice at Aprio,” said Richard Kopelman, CEO, Aprio.“With the addition of the PS+ practice, Aprio will include a robust community of complementary firms with unique opportunities for collaboration and growth as we invest in the future.”
“In joining Aprio, we have a unique opportunity to carry forward our vision and customized approach for serving clients the way they want to be served,” said Dean Sengstock, leader, PS+ practice. “While we are joining a new firm, our team, the services we provide, and our commitment to exceptional client-centric service remains the same.”
“We believe this transaction enhances the PS+ team’s ability to continue supporting their clients, while enabling RSM to focus on our core assurance, tax and consulting service offerings for the middle market,” said Brian Becker, managing partner & CEO with RSM US LLP. “We are grateful to the PS+ team for their many contributions to RSM over the last 40 years.”
Effective May 1, 2025, the PS+ practice will operate as part of Aprio. Dean Sengstock, current leader of the PS+ practice, will continue to serve as the leader of the practice and will join Aprio as a partner along with four other partners and more than 30 team members.
Over the coming weeks, Aprio and RSM will work together to ensure a smooth transition and to serve clients’ best interests.
