RSM Richter

RSM Richter was a prominent Canadian professional services firm that provided accounting, tax, and business advisory services, with a specialized focus on the life sciences and healthcare sectors. The firm was well-regarded for its expertise in financial restructuring, M&A advisory, and assisting biotechnology companies with Scientific Research and Experimental Development (SR&ED) tax credits. In 2011, the firm's Toronto and Calgary practices were acquired by Deloitte, while the Montreal office continued as an independent entity under the name Richter. Today, the successor firm Richter remains a key advisor to healthcare professionals and life science companies in Canada, providing specialized financial planning and business consulting. The firm's historical involvement in the biotech sector often stemmed from its role as a lead auditor and restructuring specialist for various Canadian life science entities.
