Welcome!



At McGladrey, We're Building On A Tradition Of Success!

Chances are you are asking that burning question: “Who Is McGladrey?” In short, “McGladrey” references our founder, Ira B. McGladrey, who started this firm in Cedar Rapids, Iowa in 1926. McGladrey might be the best accounting firm you have never heard of - a big firm, with a small firm feel. McGladrey & Pullen and RSM McGladrey Inc together are the fifth largest provider of Assurance, Tax and Business Consulting services in the U.S. We are a member of RSM International, the seventh-largest worldwide accounting and consulting organization with more than 600 offices in nearly 75 countries.

McGladrey is a $1.4B firm with nearly 8,000 employees in over 120 office locations coast-to-coast that serve “middle-market companies on the move." A proud heritage coupled with a strong mission and vision set us apart and create a framework for how our people interact with clients and each other. Our firm's core values of Respect, Integrity, Teamwork, Success-Driven, Expertise and Client-Centric will continue to guide us in a direction that will help our people and our clients succeed!

At McGladrey We're Positioned To Take On The Competition

You may wonder why are there two firm names. RSM McGladrey, a wholly owned indirect subsidiary of H&R Block, provides accounting, tax and business consulting services. McGladrey & Pullen is a partner-owned CPA firm that provides audit and attest services. Federal and state regulations and laws exist to ensure that licensed CPA firms are separate legal entities and are fully able to act independently in service to their clients. The rules and regulations state that a public company cannot own any share of, control any aspect of, or share in the profits of a licensed CPA firm. The Alternative Practice Structure that we operate under enables us to fully comply with the spirit, rules and regulations that govern our business. Many of our people are employees of both organizations. In the end, although we operate as separate and independent legal entities, the two firms work together to serve our clients needs.

At McGladrey, We're Ready To Do What It Takes To Help Our Employees And Clients Succeed

McGladrey can serve as a conduit for employee success, both personally and professionally. Each office location varies in size, client mix and functional specialties. At a national level, McGladrey employees should expect that they will primarily interface with middle-market clients, organizations with $15 - $500M in revenue. Our employees work with business owners, Presidents, CFOs, Controllers, community leaders, and visionaries, while developing their skills through a comprehensive Learning and Professional Development curriculum. Classroom-like knowledge is enhanced by client experiences to accelerate the learning curve. While college may be ending, the learning never stops. The McGladrey Experience is quite unique!

Our employees work with a variety of clients each year, from family owned businesses, to large, publicly traded companies, thereby deepening their technical skills, while broadening their personal skill. Unlike many industries and firms, these well-rounded McGladrey professionals work on multiple client engagements each year, which enhances their exposure to complex business issues. This apprenticeship learning model exposes employees to diverse industries such as Construction/Real Estate, Financial Services, Health Care, Not-for-Profit, and Manufacturing and Wholesale Distribution to name a few.

At McGladrey, We're Ready to Help Our People And Clients Reach The Next Level

Companies on the move are far from ordinary. They require a higher level of talent and thinking from their business advisors, with the kind of insights, understanding and experience that lead to fresh, inspired solutions. As a result, the professionals of McGladrey are provided opportunities early and often in their career to be decision makers, thought leaders, mentors, and business advisors. Our employees strive for deeper relationships, a more thorough understanding of our clients' strategies and day-to-day operations, and in-depth familiarity with the key concerns that drive success. McGladrey enables success - for our clients and our people - by offering more than just information. We also offer insights. Our clients need more than just accountants and consultants: they need their service provider to be stewards of our their success. At McGladrey, we not only push our clients to be their best, we push ourselves. Our employees' rate of progress through a career path will be driven by their desire and accomplishments.

At McGladrey, We Enable Work-Life Flexibility

Our employees are able to stretch their skills, challenge their mind and achieve their aspirations through interesting work and meaningful career development, while being given the opportunity and flexibility to work efficiently both in their professional and personal life. This commitment to flexibility starts with Steve Tait, President of RSM McGladrey Business Services - "A culture of flexibility is critical to our business success and is the right thing to do for our employees, our clients and our company."

McGladrey has repeatedly been recognized for its’ focus on creating a culture of Work-Life flexibility, including being named as one of the "100 Best Companies to Work For" by Working Mother magazine in 2006 and 2007. McGladrey was also recognized by Business Week magazine as one of the "Best Places To Launch A Career" in 2008. When our people succeed, McGladrey succeeds. And vice-versa. It is a simple formula that has become our People Promise.

At McGladrey, our people will be able to stretch their skills, challenge their mind and achieve their aspirations. Through interesting work. Meaningful career development. Flexibility. Opportunities. Recognition. And mentoring that will help them grow. Our people are key players on a strong team that supports their success. That is McGladrey’s promise.

At McGladrey, We're Positioned To Drive Performance

Like most companies, McGladrey provides a competitive benefits package. There is even a generous professional certification program which provides financial assistance to new graduates in becoming certified as a CPA.

However, there is so much more in store for the people of McGladrey. Like many of you have experienced in your career, the employees of McGladrey that have already started their journey are there to guide, advise, encourage and trust our newest employees to do what is right: for them, for our firm, and for our clients.

Employees are paired with a Performance Advisor who will assist them in setting yearly goals through our 8-step performance management process. These advisors monitor professional development, discuss career development goals and put action plans in place, and serve as an advocate with our firm leaders. McGladrey also asks each employee to establish a yearly Work-Life goal, as we recognize the importance that balance plays in someone’s ultimate success. But McGladrey can only do so much to help employees grow and prosper. The rest is in the hands of the employee. Like our entrepreneurial clients, we expect that our people will take ownership of their career with McGladrey and seek opportunities to develop, and proactively reach out and mentor others. McGladrey is the conduit and has all the components in place to drive performance and enable success.
