Regional accounting and business advisory firm for SMEs and private clients
RMT Accountants & Business Advisors is a 68-year-old Newcastle-based practice now part of Sumer, a collaboration of regional accountancies. The firm runs on a traditional advisory stack (Xero, Sage, QuickBooks, Microsoft 365, ServiceNow) with no active tech migrations — a pattern typical of established practices prioritizing stability over innovation. Hiring is balanced across finance, accounting, and audit roles, with particular pressure on expanding the private client tax practice and managing rising compliance workload post-acquisition.
RMT provides accounting, tax, and business advisory services to SMEs, private clients, and larger organizations across the UK. The practice spans corporate finance, specialist tax, audit, recovery/insolvency, and startup/high-growth business support. With 10 directors and over 150 staff organized as specialists by discipline, the firm combines the depth of a large established practice with personalized service typical of smaller advisories. In 2023, RMT joined Sumer, a network of regional accountancy practices focused on supporting local SMEs — a move that reflects the firm's strategy to scale through collaboration rather than solo growth.
RMT's core stack includes Xero, Sage, and QuickBooks for accounting, alongside Microsoft 365, ServiceNow, and Freshservice for operations and client support.
Newcastle upon Tyne, United Kingdom. The firm is privately held and has operated since 1956.
