RSM Tenon exodus to Mazars continues with dealmaker Bevan’s move

MIDLANDS accountancy firm Mazars has brought in well-known corporate finance figure Paul Bevan from rival RSM Tenon.

He is the seventh RSM Tenon staffer to join Mazars this summer.

Bevan will join Mazars as a partner, mainly working from its Nottingham office and a new Leicester office which the firm is due to open in the autumn.

He has latterly been head of corporate finance for RSM Tenon in the Midlands and the North.

Mazars Midlands managing partner David Chapman said: “Paul is a seasoned dealmaker and his extensive transaction experience is highly regarded by both clients and the professional community.

“He has an enviable track record of success and advises on both acquisitions and exits.”

Bevan’s decision echoes the move announced earlier this summer by six other RSM Tenon senior personnel to join Mazars’ Midlands operation.

They include Alistair Wesson, the former managing partner of RSM Tenon in Nottingham.

Leicester office managing partner Chris Darlington also moved across as did Julian Clough, Steve English, David Hoose and Bob Johnson.

Chapman said: “The growth of the Midlands offices of Birmingham, Nottingham, Gloucester, Milton Keynes and the new Leicester office are a clear indication of our intention to establish Mazars as the advisory firm of choice in the region.

“Paul’s decision to join us further enhances our investment in Nottingham and Leicester.”
