It was the UK member firm of RSM Global, the 6th largest network of professional accountancy firms in the world.

In 2006, RSM Robson Rhodes announced that it was to merge with the US firm of RSM International, RSM McGladrey. However, delays in completing the deal due to financial problems at H&R Block, the company which owned RSM McGladrey, led Robson Rhodes to terminate the deal. Prior to this, the company had sought other mergers including unsuccessful talks with the UK arm of Mazars.
On 29 April 2007, the partners of Robson Rhodes announced that they were to merge with Grant Thornton UK LLP, the UK firm of Grant Thornton International, then the sixth largest accountancy firm in the United Kingdom.
