R.F. Smith & Company (RFS) is a group of multidisciplined hands-on business operations advisers, strategists, troubleshooters, turnaround specialists, international business development counselors, international government relations professionals, and merger and acquisition experts.  This staff of experienced professionals is committed to a new level of performance and dedicated to succeeding in extraordinary business situations.  RFS' professionals cross most industries, encompass all business disciplines, and are recognized nationally and internationally with notable accreditations, hands-on experience, and education.  Most hold at least Master-level, CPA, or equivalent credentials.  In addition, each professional has 18 or more years of actual operations experience.

The firm has been increasing its clients' productivity and bottom lines since 1988.  RFS proudly fosters long-term relationships with exceptional clients throughout the world from its headquarters near Washington, D.C.  Additionally, the firm has satellite offices in New York City, Los Angeles, and Panama City, Panama.

Day-to-day operations consume valuable time and resources, preventing the rigorous attention needed to achieve a new, higher level of performance.  Many executives are often unable to concentrate on challenges critical to their firm's success, or are unable to move quickly to embrace major new opportunities.

The mission of RFS is to provide clients with singular focus and proven expertise in producing project and bottom-line success.   The firm's professionals function as extensions of client staff, or simply as an outsourced service, to assist executives committed to improving performance, embracing new opportunities, or responding to unusual challenges.   RFS not only advises, but also implements its advice by performing all necessary work in tandem with the client.

The firm provides value-added services to focus on critical issues and assist in analysis, planning, implementation, and execution, thereby freeing client staff to concentrate on day-to-day operations.   RFS' primary goal is results, not simply advice.  The firm follows through to ensure that clients reap real and substantial returns on their investment in the engagement.  RFS bases its reputation on three principles — experience, integrity, and confidentiality.
