Shaun Osborne
RSM Australia has boosted its Corporate Finance expertise and bolstered its senior leadership team in Western Australia with the appointment of a new Director with extensive M&A experience.
Shaun Osborne joined the firm in February after relocating from South Africa to Perth.
Since stepping into his role, Osborne has fully embraced the opportunity, adding a calm, structured and highly commercial approach to transactions.
Osborne said he is focused on and excited about delivering M&A advisory services to the mid-market.
He supports business owners, shareholders and investors on a wide range of strategic and transaction-related matters, including complex and important decisions across the business lifecycle.
“Transactions are often transformational for companies and for many business owners they represent an event they will have rarely, if ever, encountered,” he said.
“Being entrusted to help guide my clients through these milestones and decisions is incredibly rewarding.”
Over the years, Osborne has successfully guided clients through a wide range of strategic divestments, privately owned business sales, and acquisition-driven growth strategies across a broad range of industry sectors. This included assisting a Johannesburg Stock Exchange-listed financial services group to successfully execute on its acquisition strategy and to support its broader growth objectives.
Another rewarding engagement for Osborne involved advising a family-owned private business on the sale of their company. The business had been built over many decades and carried significant emotional value for the family, making the transaction far more than a purely commercial exercise. Shaun worked closely with the shareholders and management team throughout the process to deliver a successful transaction, which also involved a detailed pre-sale preparation process prior to going to market.
Last month, RSM Australia was named the Client Choice Awards Best Accounting & Consulting Services firm for the eighth consecutive year.
