Founder of The Taxback Group wins award from RSM

Terry Clune, founder of The Taxback Group, was yesterday named RSM International’s Entrepreneur of the Year at the 2010 European Business Awards in Paris. The Taxback Group was established in Dublin in 1996 to provide income tax refund services for students travelling and working abroad. The group has since grown and diversified to become a global financial and travel services provider.

Presented at a gala ceremony in Paris by Jean Stephens, CEO of RSM International – the 6th largest global accounting network – the award recognises Terry’s entrepreneurialism in the inception, development and strategic growth of the company. Jean Stephens said, “Exceptional business talent needs to be recognised and rewarded – and our support for the fourth consecutive year of the EBA Entrepreneur of the Year award reflects RSM’s commitment to partnering with the best business professionals in the world. Congratulations to Terry Clune!”

A graduate of Trinity College Dublin, Terry formulated the ‘taxback.com’ business concept while working in Germany as a student. The Taxback Group also established an International Community Outreach Programme in 2007 to assist underprivileged communities in localities where it has offices, and continues to support various CSR projects.
