RSM France is expanding its consolidation and reporting team in Paris, seeking to bolster its capabilities in a sector undergoing significant regulatory change. The firm, the sixth-largest global network in audit, accounting, and consulting, is actively recruiting for a Consultant Consolidation Assurance role, signaling continued growth and investment in its French operations.
The move comes as the assurance landscape faces increasing complexity, particularly within the insurance sector, a key focus for this new role. RSM’s Paris office, home to 600 professionals, is positioning itself to support clients navigating evolving standards like IFRS 17 and changes to Solvency II regulations. The firm highlights a commitment to fostering an environment where autonomy and initiative are valued, a message echoed by current employees.
“What I like about RSM is that the firm puts people at the heart of all our projects,” says Sihem, a Manager at the firm. Oriane, a Collaboratrice Comptable, adds, “I felt in my place, listened to, and supported with a very close relationship.” These testimonials underscore a company culture that prioritizes employee well-being and development, a factor that appears to contribute to high employee satisfaction – 95% of RSM France’s collaborators recommend the firm.
The Consultant Consolidation Assurance position will involve a blend of operational assistance, project management, and team leadership. The role centers on assisting clients with the production of consolidated financial statements, ensuring compliance with accounting standards such as IFRS, ANC202-01, and local regulations. A core responsibility will be guaranteeing the reliability and timely delivery of these financial statements, alongside providing technical and methodological support to client subsidiaries.
Beyond the core accounting functions, the role encompasses project management, specifically the implementation and evolution of consolidation tools like SAP BFC, Oracle HFM, and Tagetik. This includes supporting groups through regulatory adaptation projects and optimizing closing processes. The position will involve acting as an Assistance à Maîtrise d’Ouvrage (AMOA) – assisting clients from defining requirements through to operational deployment.
The role isn’t solely focused on technical execution. A key component involves managing a team of consultants, providing day-to-day guidance, and addressing challenges encountered during client engagements. The Consultant will participate in business development activities, contributing to proposal writing and fostering relationships with partners and prospective clients.
RSM’s commitment to internal development is also highlighted, with opportunities to participate in cross-functional projects such as recruitment, training, brand building, and internal community initiatives. This emphasis on employee engagement reflects a broader strategy of fostering a dynamic and collaborative work environment.
The firm’s growth trajectory is evident in its expanding network and increasing opportunities for career advancement. RSM France’s position within the sixth-largest global network provides access to a wide range of resources and expertise, enabling it to serve clients effectively across major French economic hubs. The company emphasizes its commitment to delivering high economic and social value by supporting business growth, safeguarding sustainability, and fostering innovation.
The new role will be part of a team of 40 experts specializing in consolidation and reporting, specifically focused on serving clients in the insurance sector. This specialization suggests a strategic focus on a sector facing significant disruption and regulatory scrutiny, positioning RSM to capitalize on the demand for expert consolidation and reporting services.
RSM’s approach to professional development is centered on providing continuous training, fostering autonomy, and encouraging employees to share their ideas. The firm aims to create a workplace where individuals are recognized and respected, and where they can contribute to a collective mission of positive impact for clients and society. This emphasis on employee empowerment and engagement appears to be a key differentiator for RSM in a competitive market.
The firm’s success is attributed to the commitment of its teams, and its focus on creating a positive environment where employees can grow with confidence. Strong connections between teams and partners, a dynamic work atmosphere, and high-impact assignments are all cited as contributing factors to employee satisfaction and career progression.
