Wirral-based Vantage announces strategic partnership with national accountancy firm

Wirral consultancy Vantage Business Solutions has announced a new strategic alliance with RSM, the national audit and advisory services provider, to expand its social housing offer.

Heswall-based Vantage partnered with RSM, formerly Baker Tilly, to roll out a new savings assessment service that offers housing providers a view of potential improvement opportunities and ways in which money can be saved during repairs and maintenance programmes.

Vantage’s chief executive, Tony Bryan, said: “We are delighted to be partnering with RSM to provide their clients with a range of additional social housing services and products.

“RSM is an industry leader in providing its clients with outstanding accountancy, audit and business services. Our specialist transformation services and products will enable them to further extend what they can offer their clients.”

He added: “The social rent cut has caused turmoil in the social housing sector and presented providers with enormous financial and service challenges. Together with RSM we will be aiming to deliver solutions to their clients.”

RSM’s social housing head Gary Moreton praised Vantage, calling the firm “well established and highly regarded” within the sector.

He added: “This strategic alliance enables us to provide an even more comprehensive offering to our clients.”
