Our Transactions Tax specialists provide services such as tax due diligence reviews (buy-side and sell-side), advice on private equity structures, vendor assistance, and management tax planning.

Due to growth and high-profile M&A Tax appointments, we are expanding our National Transactions Tax team at the Manager level. As part of RSM's national M&A Tax specialists, you will work closely with a regional Transactions Tax Partner and contribute significantly to the development and success of the Transactions Tax offering.

• Being a strong people manager, involved in training and career development through coaching, formal training, and discussions.
• Researching and preparing proposals for new work and participating in presentations to prospective clients.

What we are looking for:

Are you someone who enjoys variety, learning, and connecting with people? If you can identify inefficiencies and are passionate about improvements, this role is ideal for you!

We value diverse experiences and perspectives. Our ideal candidate will have:

• CTA or ATII qualification preferred, or equivalent, along with an accounting qualification such as ACA or ACCA.

• Good knowledge of Transactions Tax, either as a specialist or a Corporate Tax professional.
• Proven client handling and relationship-building skills.
• Strong coaching abilities and an inclusive approach to people development.
• Business development experience or interest is advantageous but not essential.
