Professional services firm RSM US LLP (“RSM”) and AI-native software provider Rillet have announced a strategic alliance to help middle-market organizations modernize financial infrastructure for the artificial intelligence era.
The collaboration unites Rillet’s Agentic ERP technology with RSM’s middle-market consulting, tax, and advisory capabilities. Together, the organizations aim to help corporate finance teams replace fragmented software stacks, strengthen data controls, automate routine accounting tasks, and eliminate traditional period-end close delays.
Overcoming Legacy Operational Friction in Middle-Market Accounting
Corporate finance executives are contending with broadening operational demands. As business continues to grow, the rapid growth of systems, talent limitations and increasing regulatory obligations demand ever more resources and attention. The use of manual spreadsheet workarounds and fragmented software applications constrains operational visibility, hampers time sensitive decision making and inhibits value-added work.
