With combined 2007 revenues of $1.4 billion, RSM McGladrey and McGladrey & Pullen again achieve number five spot on this year’s list

MINNEAPOLIS (April 8, 2008) – Accounting Today has ranked RSM McGladrey, together with CPA firm McGladrey & Pullen, as the fifth largest accounting, tax and business consulting firm in the United States. The accounting industry trade publication issued the list of the Top 100 Accounting & Tax Firms in its Apr. 1, 2008 issue.

Under the leadership of RSM McGladrey president Steve Tait, the firm has achieved five years of growth and has been ranked fifth by Accounting Today for the second consecutive year. The ranking demonstrates that RSM McGladrey is building what internationally active companies need and want – a professional services organization with the expertise, breadth of service lines, focus and structure to serve the middle market. This success advances RSM McGladrey’s strategic plan to become the leading provider of accounting, tax and business consulting services to middle market companies.

“We are pleased with our performance this past year,” Tait said. “By focusing on the business needs of middle market companies, we are uniquely positioned to offer the best service possible to our clients. Our goal is to enhance our clients’ success – and we’re proud to continue those efforts.”

In addition to advances in service offerings, RSM McGladrey continued to make a concerted effort to integrate more WorkLife initiatives into its culture. For the second year in a row, RSM McGladrey was honored as one of the “100 Best Companies” by Working Mother magazine. In 2007, RSM McGladrey enhanced its WorkLife offerings, including a “Coach-on-call” program where employees can get free expert advice and support on work and life issues from a professional coach. As RSM McGladrey continues growing to accommodate the demands of the middle market, the firm is equally enhancing the opportunities for its employees as they take part in directing the industry in a new direction.
