RSM Australia has made a sweeping round of promotions following its first national retreat since 2019 that involved more than 190 partners and principals gathered in Perth.

RSM Australia national chairman Jamie O'Rourke said that the new appointments pointed to the firm’s growth and development of its client service diversity, capacity and geographic reach.

“These new partner principal and associate director announcements demonstrate RSM Australia’s continued growth, evolution of talent diversity and focus on changing client needs,” Mr O'Rourke said.

The four new partners are Warren Fynn – business advisory, Mary Lai tax, Peter Kanellis – audit and assurance, and Jimmy Smit – business advisory.

Mr Fynn is based out of RSM Australia’s Wagga Wagga office and was previously the principal of the business advisory division of Wagga Wagga. He is a business and taxation specialist with expertise in succession planning and assisting families with the progression of their family businesses.

Ms Lai is based in RSM Australia’s Sydney office and is a member of RSM’s China practice group. Ms Lai was previously a principal and has expertise in tax services particularly international tax and tax compliance.
