RGP hires Scott Rottmann as president of CFO advisory

RGP, a Dallas-headquartered management consulting firm, has hired Scott Rottmann as president of CFO advisory.

In the newly created role, Rottmann will lead RGP’s office of the CFO capability areas, overseeing finance & accounting, governance, risk & compliance, and tax & treasury practices.

RGP says it has partnered with chief financial officers for more than 30 years, and Rottmann’s new role “formalizes and expands that commitment.”

Rottmann is based in the Washington, DC area and brings more than 25 years of professional services experience, with extensive expertise in process, technology, data, digital, and organizational improvement.

He joins from strategy firm EY-Parthenon, where he spent the last six years as a principal/partner. Before that, he spent six years as a managing director and commercial sector leader at MorganFranklin Consulting and nearly a decade at Deloitte, where he was a principal/partner and leader of the Southeast region finance service line.

Rottman began his career in the audit practice of PwC.

He has a master’s degree in accounting from George Mason University and a bachelor’s degree in accounting from Ohio University.

“As finance leaders confront a future defined by data, digital innovation, and accelerated transformation, Scott’s expertise will enable us to guide clients beyond incremental improvement toward true enterprise reinvention,” said Bhadresh Patel, COO of RGP, to whom Rottmann will report.

Rottmann added, “RGP was built on a foundation of empowering CFOs and their teams. My role is to evolve that legacy, strengthening our CFO advisory capabilities, and building even deeper, enduring partnerships within the CFO community.”

RGP provides strategic consulting and outsourced solutions in finance, HR, operations, and technology. The firm has more than 2,600 people across 40+ global offices.

RGP recently welcomed Brett Wells as vice president of enterprise resource planning (ERP) and business technology solutions.
