Corporate Tax Associate Jobs in Utah (NOW HIRING)

At Rasmussen & Associates, we help small business owners build incredible, meaningful businesses. We believe small businesses are a powerful force that shape the way we live.

We don’t just say that, we mean it and we do it every day. We are a small business.

There will be long days and incredible challenges, but the reward will be contributing to something that is larger than yourself. We want you to bring the hustle, grit, and passion to everything you do here. You will be expected to take high ownership and improve yourself constantly. You will be held accountable to our Core Values and will be expected to hold your teammates accountable as well. The values are what unify us and allow us to make the impact that we do. They are crucial on our mission to elevate businesses to co-create a brighter future. 

One of the most frustrating realities in small business is that the people who have the guts, energy, passion, and grit to take a leap of faith and jump into entrepreneurship rarely know much about what it takes to manage their financials. They scrape and they claw and they will their business forward. That’s where we come in. We specialize in helping small business successfully navigate the complexities of the regulatory tax side and as well as help business owners understand how to generate and accumulated more wealth.
