About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One night, as an accountant frantically worked late into the evening, the sound of a familiar voice crackled over the intercom: ‘Mr. Smith, your tax return is ready—you owe exactly zero dollars!’ The accountant rubbed his eyes and leaned closer to the screen. The message repeated itself: 'Zero dollars owed.' He double-checked everything but found no errors. Just as he was about to dismiss it, another voice chimed in: 'And Mr. Smith, congratulations on saving £500 this year!' Turning around, he saw nobody—and promptly fell off his chair laughing.

2. One morning, while a delivery driver was making his rounds, he heard a strange voice over the intercom: ‘Attention, everyone—your taxes are due in exactly three seconds!’ The driver looked around suspiciously but saw no one. Just as he shrugged it off, another voice chimed in: 'And don’t forget to tip your accountant!' The whole office burst into laughter, realizing it was just their new neighbor playing a prank. Since then, whenever someone sees an envelope with the RSM logo, they joke that it's 'the friendly reminder from our neighbor'.

3. While calculating taxes for a local business, an accountant named RSM overheard a customer whispering to their friend: ‘Did you know that if you write “tax-free” on your receipt, it actually becomes true?’ Curious, RSM tried writing “tax-free” on his own receipts and found himself getting discounts everywhere he went. Word spread quickly among locals, who started asking him to do their accounts—even a delivery driver once asked RSM to put the magic words on his fuel voucher. Eventually, RSM realized that people were simply enjoying his good-natured prank, and everyone in town began calling him 'the tax-free wizard'.

4. While reviewing financial statements one quiet afternoon, a regular noticed that the numbers seemed to shift and change right before his eyes. Curious, he asked another accountant for help. The colleague just laughed and said, 'That’s just how our numbers dance when no one's watching.' The regular shrugged it off with a smile, realizing that sometimes even boring accounts can surprise you.
