Insurtech Akur8 has announced a major expansion of its strategic alliance with RSM US LLP, the prominent provider of assurance, tax, and consulting services to middle-market businesses. The move marks a deeper integration of Akur8’s innovative technology into RSM’s operations, positioning both organizations to deliver more sophisticated, AI-powered support to insurers and regulators throughout the United States and Canada.
Building on an collaboration that began with Insurtech firm Akur8’s pricing and reserving platform, RSM is now rolling out Akur8 Discover across its entire enterprise.
This advanced module converts complex, unstructured regulatory filings—such as those submitted through SERFF and state insurance departments—into clean, searchable, and actionable intelligence.
The technology will also support Risk & Regulatory Consulting (RRC), an RSM-affiliated firm specializing in compliance and examinations, enabling faster and more precise advisory work for carriers, managing general agents, reinsurers, and state regulators.
RSM’s decision reflects a strategic shift toward technology-enabled regulatory intelligence as a cornerstone of its North American insurance practice.
Rather than relying on labor-intensive manual reviews of thousands of rate and rule filings, teams can now instantly benchmark competitors, track regulatory shifts across all 50 states, normalize data for cross-market comparisons, and map rating factors and territories.
These capabilities are particularly valuable in today’s environment of heightened regulatory scrutiny, market volatility, and rapid product innovation.
For insurers operating in personal and commercial lines, the platform offers critical advantages.
It provides deeper visibility into emerging industry trends, competitor strategies, and jurisdictional nuances—insights that strengthen pricing models, reserving projections, and compliance strategies.
In niche or emerging segments where historical data is limited, this level of market transparency helps carriers build more credible and defensible actuarial work.
The expansion underscores RSM’s commitment to modernizing actuarial and regulatory workflows through structured data, automation, and artificial intelligence.
What began as a targeted pilot in late 2025 quickly demonstrated clear value, prompting the firmwide adoption.
By combining Akur8’s pricing, reserving, and now regulatory intelligence tools, RSM is creating a seamless, end-to-end advisory suite that bridges actuarial science, compliance, and market analytics.
Samuel Falmagne, CEO of Akur8, highlighted the alignment: the partnership reflects shared goals of innovation in pricing, reserving, and compliance, meeting rising demand for structured regulatory data across the region.
David Mamane, RSM’s Partner and Property & Casualty Actuarial Services Leader, noted that traditional manual approaches to navigating SERFF and state filings no longer scale in today’s high-volume regulatory environment.
Akur8 Discover empowers teams to extract, compare, and contextualize information rapidly, improving advice on compliance, pricing strategy, and market positioning.
Sergey Filimonov, Head of Applied AI at Akur8 and Co-Founder of Matrisk AI, observed that early users became advocates, uncovering fresh insights even with deep SERFF expertise.
With over 3,000 actuaries reportedly using Akur8 daily across 40+ countries, the platform continues to set standards for transparent AI in insurance. This latest development with RSM reinforces Akur8’s role as a key enabler of data-driven transformation in North America’s insurance sector.
