RSM Australia has appointed a new director to its Western Australian office to boost its corporate finance expertise and bolster its senior leadership team.

On Tuesday (21 April), the firm announced that it had appointed Shaun Osborne as a director at its Perth Office. It said that Osborne, who hails from South Africa, brought extensive M&A experience to the team.

At RSM, Osborne said he was excited to deliver M&A advisory services to the mid-market and apply his skills to resolve transaction-related matters for business owners, shareholders and investors.

"Transactions are often transformational for companies and for many business owners they represent an event they will have rarely, if ever, encountered,” he said.

“Being entrusted to help guide my clients through these milestones and decisions is incredibly rewarding.”

Previously, Osborne had guided clients through strategic divestments, privately owned business sales and acquisition-driven growth strategies across numerous industries.

In one particularly rewarding engagement, Osborne recalled advising a family-owned private business on the sale of their company. The business, which had been built over many decades, had carried significant emotional value for the family.

 
 

He worked closely with the shareholders and management team to deliver a successful transaction, which he described as “far more than a purely commercial exercise.”

Osborne also assisted a Johannesburg Stock Exchange-listed financial services group in executing its acquisition strategy and supporting its broader growth goals.

RSM Australia said that Osborne had brought a calm, structured and highly commercial approach to transactions in the firm’s WA office.
