Mr Hutchens is the most recent hire and brings with him experience spanning internal audit and risk management services.

“RSM Australia continues to grow through the promotion of senior staff who provide quality expertise and advice. These appointments demonstrate the firm’s commitment to employee development, which results in outstanding service to clients,” said Kim Hutchinson, national chairman of RSM Australia.

“We are pleased to be able to further develop our support for clients on the east coast in the area of R&D tax advice. We are well aware that the avenue to growth for many Australian businesses is through innovation and this area of expertise is just one where we can support their ambitions.”

In addition to the appointment of the new principals, RSM Australia revealed that Con Paoliello would now assume the role of managing partner for the firm’s Perth office, while continuing in his position as national head of tax services. Mr Paoliello takes over from James Komninos.
