About rsk
A relationship-driven advisory firm built to simplify complexity.
Our Story.
rsk was founded in Houston with a straightforward idea: businesses and families shouldn’t need five different firms to handle their tax, insurance, and operational challenges. By bringing these disciplines under one roof — with senior professionals who actually talk to each other — we deliver better outcomes, fewer surprises, and a more efficient experience for our clients.
Our founding team brings decades of collective experience across commercial insurance, financial services, tax compliance, and strategic advisory. We’ve worked at large firms and small ones, and we built rsk to combine the best of both worlds: the technical depth you expect from a national practice with the personal attention and responsiveness you deserve.
Today, rsk serves clients across private equity, energy, real estate, hospitality, healthcare, and professional services. And we’re just getting started — our platform is designed to grow, adding capabilities and talent to serve our clients’ evolving needs.

What We Stand For.
Our values aren’t words on a wall. They shape how we hire, how we serve clients, and how we make decisions every day.
- Integrity First
We tell you what you need to hear, not what you want to hear. Our advice is grounded in facts, and we never compromise on ethics — even when it’s inconvenient.
- Client-Centric
Every engagement starts and ends with your goals. We don’t sell services you don’t need. We build solutions around what actually matters to your business and your family.
- Transparent Communication
No surprises on fees, timelines, or outcomes. We keep you informed at every step and make sure you understand the options before we act.
- Technical Excellence
We invest in keeping our people sharp. Tax law changes, insurance markets shift, and regulations evolve — we stay ahead so you don’t have to.
- Collaborative by Design
Our tax, insurance, and consulting teams work together by default — not in silos. This cross-functional approach catches issues and opportunities that single-discipline firms miss.
- Long-Term Partnership
We’re building relationships, not transactions. Our goal is to be your trusted advisor for years — growing alongside your business and anticipating your needs before you ask.

Insurance & Risk Management
Raza is a Partner at RSK and leads the firm’s risk management and insurance practice. A Houston native with more than ten years of experience in commercial insurance and financial services, he brings a hands-on, client-first approach to building protection programs that actually fit the businesses they cover.
His practice spans commercial property and casualty, general liability, professional liability, workers’ compensation, and employee benefits across oil and gas, healthcare, logistics, real estate, multifamily, and hospitality. He also advises individuals on personal insurance needs including homeowners, auto, umbrella, life, and high-value collections coverage.
Before entering commercial insurance, Raza spent eleven years in private banking in New York, working with high-net-worth individuals and complex organizational structures. That background gives him a distinctive perspective on how risk, wealth, and business operations intersect.
He is known for taking the time to understand each client’s operations and exposures before recommending solutions — because the right coverage starts with the right questions.
Strategic Consulting
Wasay is a Partner at RSK and serves as Chairman, providing strategic oversight, governance leadership, and long-term vision for the firm. A seasoned entrepreneur, investor, and board leader, he brings decades of experience building and scaling privately held businesses.
His advisory focus centers on business formation, growth strategy, operational scale, and sustainable value creation. He works with founders and leadership teams navigating the transition from early-stage operations to structured, scalable enterprises.
Wasay currently serves as President of Cotel Housing, where he leads strategic planning, enterprise sales, and multi-market expansion. Earlier in his career, he held consulting and technology roles at PricewaterhouseCoopers — advising on systems, processes, and technology strategy — and at GAP Inc., where he managed nationwide technology and retail operations infrastructure.
He believes the best consulting bridges long-term vision with day-to-day execution, and that sustainable growth comes from getting the fundamentals right.
Partner Tax
Numair is a Partner at RSK and leads the firm’s tax advisory practice. With more than fifteen years of experience advising public and private companies on complex tax matters, he brings deep technical knowledge paired with a practical, business-oriented perspective.
His expertise spans partnership taxation, corporate taxation, and income tax accounting. He is a Subchapter K specialist with particular depth in capital account maintenance, Section 704(c) allocations, Section 743(b) and 734(b) basis adjustments, and partnership liability allocations. He also supports M&A transactions on both the buy side and sell side, including tax structuring, modeling, and due diligence.
Numair developed his practice through tenure at Deloitte and other national accounting firms before co-founding RSK. His clients include private equity sponsors, portfolio companies, and operating businesses across the energy value chain, real estate, and hospitality. He regularly works alongside finance and tax teams on ASC 740 provisions and ongoing tax reporting. He approaches every engagement with the belief that technical depth should simplify decisions, not complicate them.
