Consumer markets

Insight-led support to help consumer-facing businesses navigate change and unlock growth in a rapidly evolving market.

The consumer markets sector represents a core area of expertise at RSM UK and is bolstered by our cross-service team of specialists. Our experience encompasses various players within the market, ranging from large listed corporates to family-owned, private-equity backed, and high-growth enterprises, covering every stage of the business life cycle.

Over the past few years, consumer facing businesses have encountered a series of formidable challenges. The industry has grappled with high inflation and interest rates, a cost-of-living crisis, the disruptive impact of Covid-19, the complexities of Brexit, staffing shortages, and ongoing supply chain difficulties. Our experts are well-versed in these pressing issues and are fully equipped to provide valuable insights and expertise to navigate an ever-evolving landscape. With their guidance, you can tackle your business obstacles head-on and chart a path towards sustained success.

In addition, many of our consumer-facing clients have a global presence and our team regularly draws on the knowledge of our RSM colleagues in over 120 countries.

What our clients say

"As a private equity backed business, we value advisers who combine technical rigour with genuine partnership, and RSM demonstrate exactly that. The team balance independence with practical support, communicate clearly throughout the audit process, and keep us focused on what matters. Their coordination across audit, tax and financial reporting is seamless, and the industry insights they share are timely and genuinely helpful.

Our relationship with RSM is truly partner led by Tom Morgan (Relationship and Audit Partner) and Andrew Gordon (Tax Partner), supported by a team who are consistently patient, professional and personable. They achieve the right blend of technical challenge and constructive collaboration, and we would not hesitate to recommend RSM to others seeking a high quality professional services partner."
