An insight into the life of a Senior Manager at RSM

Yet another year of success for our trainees. We are proud to celebrate Samson Daniel, who achieved 1st place in Ireland and 7th place worldwide in the ACCA AFM exams, an accomplishment that reflects his dedication, talent, and determination. This follows last year's achievement by Aahana Singh, who, as an Audit trainee, earned the same global ranking in 2024. This outstanding success is a testament to the strength and potential of the graduate talent across BDO. We spoke to Samson, trainee in our Tax team, about how he found his path into tax, the support he has received at BDO, and his advice for those considering their next step.

We know that taking the first steps to building a career after graduation can be different for everyone, this is why it so important that the recruitment process is not only designed to be as accessible and inclusive as possible but also creates a platform for employees to be themselves. Our recruitment process is designed to give you the best opportunity to succeed and our highly personalised selection process will do just that. Our aim is to get to know you beyond the information listed on a CV.

Choosing a qualification, a firm, and a career path can feel like a big decision. To help future applicants, current BDO trainees shared what shaped their choices and the advice they would give to others.
