New Managing Partner at RSM Malta

RSM Malta – a member of the global audit, tax and consulting services network RSM – has announced that Maria Micallef will be the new Managing Partner of the firm, succeeding Deo Scerri, founder and outgoing Managing Partner, who will retire from the firm at the end of this year.

Micallef is one of the founding partners of RSM Malta and is currently the partner in charge of advisory and risk management services in the firm.

Maria has extensive experience in servicing local and international clients across a wide range of industry sectors including remote gaming, energy, hospitality, communications and manufacturing.

Maria is a Certified Public Accountant and holds a B.A. Hons Accountancy degree. She is a fellow and past President of the Malta Institute of Accountants, a member of the US Institute of Internal Auditors and a member of the Association of Certified Fraud Examiners. Maria is currently a Council member of the Institute of Accountants.

Commenting on his retirement from the firm, outgoing Managing Partner Deo Scerri said, “Over the last ten years, RSM Malta has grown extensively and developed into a leading mid-tier firm for audit, tax and consulting services and I have no doubt that the firm will continue to prosper and flourish in the years to come.

“I have full confidence that Maria and the firm’s partners will continue building strong collaborative relationships based on a genuine understanding of client needs, strategy and aspirations.”

“I thank Deo for his sterling contribution in building and developing RSM Malta into what it is today. The partners, directors and staff will cherish his values of mutual respect and collaboration and we will together strive to continue empowering our clients every step of the way to maximize their potential,” said incoming Managing Partner Maria Micallef.

The coming months will signal the start of a new chapter in the life of RSM Malta as the firm rebrands to ‘RSM’ following the global announcement by its international network, RSM International that it is adopting a single global brand. RSM International, the world’s seventh largest audit, tax and consulting network, is adopting ‘RSM’ as its global brand name across all of its member firms worldwide. 

RSM Malta has been a member of the RSM International network for 10 years. Today, the firm employs 75 highly qualified personnel across various disciplines including tax, audit and consultancy services.

RSM International is the world’s sixth largest provider of tax services, has the fifth largest firm in the US and the third largest in China. RSM International was the fastest growing top ten global network in 2014, posting an 18% increase in revenue, year-on-year, to US$4.4 billion for the year ending 31 December 2014.

The adoption of a unified brand reinforces the global network’s position as the adviser of choice to entrepreneurial, growth-focused organisations.
