Amy Pawelko, CPA

Senior Manager in Audit/Assurance at RSM US LLP with 10+ years of experience serving manufacturing and distribution companies in the industrials sector. I specialize in complex inventory environments ranging from automotive to shoe manufactures to food production—if it has inventory, it’s where I thrive.

My approach is grounded in real-world operations. Prior to public accounting, I worked in the accounting dept for a food distribution company, gaining hands-on experience in inventory, internal audit, and sales/use tax. That experience continues to shape how I work with clients today—connecting accounting to the realities on the warehouse floor and the production line.

In my role, I partner closely with clients to improve processes, and navigate regulatory requirements. In addition, I recently stepped into a firmwide leadership role as RSM’s Industrial Audit Policy Leader, where I help develop training and curriculum to strengthen technical capabilities and drive consistency across our industrials practice.
