History
Legal Structure
Through a 1999 partnership with H&R Block, McGladrey operated under two separate legal entities:
- McGladrey & Pullen, LLP
- RSM McGladrey, Inc.
McGladrey & Pullen operated under the traditional partnership structure as most accounting firms, specializing in audit and attest services. RSM McGladrey was established under the partnership agreement with H&R Block to provide tax and advisory services under an alternative practice structure.
In August 2011, H&R Block announced it was ending its partnership and divesting RSM McGladrey to McGladrey & Pullen, reuniting the firms in a traditional partnership structure. McGladrey & Pullen will acquire all employees, assets, and infrastructure from RSM McGladrey. The deal is expected to close in the fall of 2011.
