RSM has appointed Jiten Shah, a 30-year consulting industry veteran, as its chief financial officer.

RSM is the world’s sixth largest accounting services firm with annual revenues of more than $8 billion. It’s also active in a number of other markets, including the IT consulting space.

RSM focuses primarily on working with middle-market companies, or companies with between $10 million and $1 billion in revenue. 

Shah is joining the firm after a three-decade career at Ernst & Young. He was most recently the group CFO for EY’s global tax and law practice, which generates more than $10 billion in annual fee income.

Earlier, Shah was the head of operations at EY’s Americas tax services unit for five years. In that role, he oversaw a range of business initiatives across areas such as employee coaching and software modernization.

“I am thrilled to join RSM,” Shah commented. “The firm has a tremendous culture, a solid strategy and great opportunity for growth and expansion. RSM’s focus on serving the middle market makes it unique in the industry, and I am excited to help lead the firm into the future.”

“Jiten brings the perfect combination of experience, expertise, strategy and leadership to RSM as we continue our strong trajectory of growth as the first-choice advisor to middle market leaders globally,” remarked RSM CEO  Brian Becker.

Shah is succeeding Doug Opheim, who has served as RSM’s CFO since 2011. Opheim will stay onboard until next April to support the leadership change.
