BENGALURU / HYDERABAD | 29 October 2026: Expanding its offshore delivery and digital engineering bandwidth, RSM US Integrated Services India Private Limited, the capability subsidiary of middle-market assurance, tax, and consulting leader RSM US LLP has executed a dual-city infrastructure upgrade across southern India. Following the commissioning of a 154,000 sq. ft. facility at Embassy Manyata Business Park in Bengaluru on October 28, the firm is formally inaugurating its expanded Hyderabad office on October 29.

Rather than operating as isolated back-office compliance centers, the upgraded facilities in Karnataka and Telangana anchor a four-node Indian operating network spanning Gurugram, Bengaluru, Hyderabad, and Kolkata, that has scaled its workforce nearly sixfold in under five years to more than 3,560 professionals.

KEY HIGHLIGHTS

  • Tripling the Bengaluru Footprint: The newly commissioned 154,000 sq. ft. workspace at Manyata Tech Park nearly triples RSM’s physical real estate capacity in Bengaluru, directly accommodating a localized workforce that has grown by more than 200% over the past three years.
  • Synchronized Hyderabad Expansion: The October 29 inauguration in Hyderabad expands the firm’s delivery footprint in Gachibowli, creating dual southern talent corridors designed to absorb high-demand engineering and financial advisory workloads.
  • State-Level Institutional Alignment: Officiating the Bengaluru expansion, Priyank M Kharge, Karnataka’s Minister for Information Technology, Biotechnology and e-Governance, stated: “We welcome RSM’s continued investment in Bengaluru, which further reinforces the state’s position as a leading hub for Global Capability Centres, technology-led growth and skilled talent development.”
  • Shift from Volume to Complexity: Framing the capital deployment around capability depth rather than simple seat count, Brian Becker, Managing Partner of RSM US LLP and CEO of RSM’s Transatlantic Partnership, noted: “Our investment in Bengaluru and Hyderabad is not simply about adding space. It is about creating the environment, skills and connections that allow our teams in India to take on more complex work and contribute more deeply to the firm’s future.”

Headquartered in Chicago, Illinois, RSM US LLP is the accounting, tax, and consulting firm in the United States, serving as the primary U.S. member of the RSM International network across 120 countries. On January 1, 2026, RSM US formally launched a landmark Transatlantic Partnership with RSM UK, creating a unified, partner-owned enterprise spanning six jurisdictions the United States, the United Kingdom, Canada, Ireland, India, and El Salvador encompassing more than 23,000 professionals and over $5 billion in combined annual revenue.

INTEGRATING ASSURANCE, TAX & DIGITAL ARCHITECTURE

Modern professional services require continuous coordination between regulatory domain specialists and enterprise technologists. The Bengaluru and Hyderabad hubs are structured to break down silos between traditional accounting practices and technology consulting:

  • Multi-Disciplinary Service Delivery: Teams across the expanded hubs operate as integrated extensions of global client engagement squads across consulting, tax, assurance, and business operations, managing end-to-end audit automation, international tax structuring, and M&A transaction support.
  • AI, Cybersecurity & Data Engineering: Future talent acquisition across both centers is heavily weighted toward artificial intelligence, cybersecurity, data and analytics, and digital transformation. Engineers in India are actively contributing to RSM’s $1 billion global technology and AI investment program, building proprietary digital tools and managed IT services (such as the RSM Catamaran suite) for middle-market enterprises.
  • Global Operational Governance: Alongside client-facing delivery, the Indian centers house internal enterprise functions including cloud architecture, enterprise risk, and corporate innovation that govern RSM’s internal digital core.

Industry Insights

Assessing RSM’s sixfold workforce expansion in India highlights two structural shifts transforming the global accounting and advisory sector:

  1. Powering Cross-Border Partnership Consolidation: The January 2026 formation of RSM’s Transatlantic Partnership merged U.S. and U.K. service delivery into a borderless operating model. To make cross-border mergers financially accretive, accounting giants must standardize their audit, tax, and consulting workflows on a shared delivery backbone. India already embedded as one of the six foundational pillars of that transatlantic entity serves as the primary operational bridge synchronizing U.S. and European client engagements across time zones.
  2. Structural CPA Scarcity Driving Complex Offshoring: Unlike the Big Four firms that primarily audit Fortune 500 conglomerates, RSM dominates the global middle market. As acute Certified Public Accountant (CPA) shortages and rising onshore wage inflation squeeze U.S. and U.K. mid-market advisory margins, firms can no longer restrict Indian GCCs to routine tax-return preparation. Upgrading facilities in Bengaluru and Hyderabad allows RSM to shift high-margin technical consulting, cybersecurity auditing, and AI-enabled assurance directly to Indian domain specialists.

FUTURE OUTLOOK

The consecutive commissioning of RSM’s 154,000 sq. ft. Bengaluru hub and expanded Hyderabad facility marks a pivotal maturation in how mid-tier accounting and consulting networks utilize offshore capability centers. As artificial intelligence commoditizes routine compliance and bookkeeping, the competitive edge in professional services depends on combining deep regulatory expertise with proprietary digital platforms.

By concentrating over 3,500 multidisciplinary practitioners across four Indian metros, RSM ensures its newly unified transatlantic organization commands the technical and analytical scale required to modernize middle-market enterprises globally.
