TLDR: RSM UK, a leading accountancy practice, has announced a strategic partnership with Solihull-based AI consultancy IntellixCore.

RSM UK, a prominent accountancy firm, has forged a strategic alliance with IntellixCore, an AI consultancy based in Solihull, to substantially advance the application of artificial intelligence throughout its comprehensive range of services, including audit, tax, and consulting. This partnership marks a significant step in RSM UK’s commitment to leveraging cutting-edge technology for enhanced client value and operational efficiency.
The collaboration will see the implementation of an AI Orchestration Platform, designed to seamlessly embed AI capabilities into RSM UK’s core operations. A key initiative stemming from this partnership is the establishment of a dedicated AI Lab. This lab will play a crucial role in overseeing the responsible deployment of AI, ensuring that all technological advancements align with evolving UK regulations, with a strong emphasis on transparency and delivering tangible benefits to clients.
Chris Knowles, Chief Digital Officer at RSM UK, emphasized the firm’s vision, stating, “Being AI‑centric is about rewiring your business around the capabilities of AI to the benefit of your clients or customers, with clear guardrails relevant to your industry and regulatory environment. This strategic investment in our new AI Lab, powered by IntellixCore, will help us achieve this strategic ambition quickly and responsibly.” Knowles further highlighted the progress already made internally, including comprehensive training for all staff on core generative AI skills and the integration of AI into existing solutions like their Tax Insight platform for global tax compliance. He added that AI is also being embedded into advanced data analytics within audit services, and their consulting practice is actively guiding clients towards responsible AI adoption. “This new partnership will allow us to further innovate our client solutions,” Knowles affirmed.
Rob Donaldson, CEO at RSM UK, underscored the strategic imperative behind the move. “We want to be right at the forefront of AI adoption, but thoughtfully and always in ways that benefit our clients. It is not technology for technology’s sake, it’s about empowering our people to go the extra mile for our clients by releasing them from the more routine, less rewarding tasks. And it’s also about offering terrific career opportunities for those keen to build deep digital skills in the accounting industry,” Donaldson explained, highlighting the dual benefit of improved client service and enhanced career development for employees.
