Job description

Overview

As one of the world’s largest networks of audit, tax and consulting firms, RSM delivers big ideas and premium service to help middle-market businesses thrive. We are a fast-growing firm with big ambitions — aiming to become the premium adviser to the middle market, globally. If you are looking for a firm where you can build a future and make an impact, then RSM is the place for you.

Make an impact at RSM UK - Tax

Envision pursuing a career path where each day presents a unique challenge, a chance for growth and new experiences. Our tax graduate programme is your gateway to a future brimming with opportunities and possibilities.

A career in tax is more than just becoming a tax adviser. You’ll be part of Team Tax, diving into the intricate world of tax laws, both in the UK and internationally, applying them to real-life solutions for our clients, helping clients save money, mitigate tax risks, and navigate the complex landscape of reporting requirements to help create value.

Everyday you’ll work with a team of people who have been where you’ve been and understand the balance of exam training and work. The team is there to support you and ensure you can deliver your best.

You’ll have the opportunity to work directly with clients. For individuals you’ll immerse yourself in their unique financial world, uncovering the secrets behind family wealth, how it’s built, nurtured and passed down to future generations. For companies, you’ll explore how they can maximise post‑tax profits, manage tax risks in an increasingly complex business environment, harness tax incentives to reduce overall tax liability, expand their global reach navigating international tax rules, or plan a seamless tax-efficient exit. Each client interaction is a chance to make a real impact and, with the advance of AI, your role is increasingly more important.

Our specialist areas within Team Tax include VAT/Indirect Tax, Employer Solutions, Private Client Services, Corporate Tax, Innovation and Creative Sector Reliefs, Transfer Pricing, Capital Allowances and Tax Investigations.

What you’ll do

• Be part of Team Tax, collaborating with people across the business and engaging directly with clients.

Without even noticing it, you’ll enhance your skills, knowledge and capabilities, benefiting both clients and your own professional development by learning to be responsive, meet deadlines, communicate effectively and uphold high standards to consistently exceed expectations.

As you progress, you’ll gain a deeper understanding of your chosen area of tax. This will be reflected in the complexity of your client portfolio and increased responsibilities, including mentoring junior team members.

What We're Looking For

At RSM, we don’t just look for good exam results. We value passion, personality and originality as well.

To be considered for this opportunity, your skills, experience and qualifications should include:

• A team‑oriented mindset, curiosity about business/financial operations, and the interplay between taxation, personal wealth and financial goals
• A determination to tackle challenges and apply yourself to pass exams and become a business adviser
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills
• Comfort with numbers, an analytical mindset and an interest in the law
• A minimum of 112 UCAS points across 3 A Levels or an equivalent level 3 qualification, or 104 UCAS points across 4 Scottish Highers/Advanced Highers or Irish Leaving Certificate (Higher Level) and an obtained or predicted honours degree
• Willingness to travel to client sites and other offices as required

Please note: RSM does not accept General Studies, AS levels or the Extended Project Qualification (EPQ).

The start date for this role is 22 September 2026. Start dates are mandatory due to the internal and professional training you receive upon joining the firm to offer you the best start to your career with us.

What We Can Offer You

When you join Team Tax, you’ll enjoy a powerful combination of on‑the‑job learning and structured training, plus an impressive client list to work with. You’ll discover a team culture that nurtures individuality and supports everyone to reach their potential.

As part of Team Tax, you’ll always be moving forward.

• You’ll study towards the ACA, ATT, ADIT and/or CTA professional qualifications (depending on which area of Team Tax you join). The exam study will be hard work, but the benefits will be worth it.
• As you grow in Team Tax, you’ll benefit from mentoring in a culture that encourages you to be the best version of yourself and to contribute to RSM’s future.
• Alongside technical training, you will attend internal development courses to ensure you have the professional and personal skills to become a trusted business adviser.
• You’ll have access to lifestyle, health and wellbeing (including financial) benefits which you can tailor to your requirements.
