Founded in 1926 by Ira B. McGladrey, the firm acquired a small public accounting business with seven employees from Cedar Rapids, Iowa. This became the beginning of the firm’s existence, known as the I.B. McGladrey Company, based on providing personalized services to regional clients via partners. Over time, it grew and became McGladrey, Hansen, Dunn & Company, which happened in 1937. Over the next several decades, the firm has gained popularity across the United States for nearly ninety years by strategically merging with accounting firms from the East Coast and Southern regions, previously known as McGladrey.

The rebranding of the company took place on October 1, 2015, as RSM US LLP, joining the RSM International network of companies under one brand name.
