Job description

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 – we have a clear goal to become the premium adviser to the middle market, globally. This vision touches everything we do, motivating and inspiring us to become better every day. If you are looking for a firm where you can build a future and make an impact, then RSM is the place for you.

Join ‘Team Tax’: straight-talking, collaborative and built for people who want to make an impact from day one. This is a place to learn fast, contribute early and keep moving forward.

Tax is changing fast. From AI and global regulation to sustainability, private wealth and international growth, the decisions our clients make today have real consequences. That means the work you'll do here actually matters. On our tax technology graduate programme, you’ll get close to those decisions from the start.

You won’t do it alone.

In Team Tax, collaboration is just how we work. You’ll learn from people who’ve been where you are – and who get the reality of balancing client work, study and exams. They’ll help you to build confidence, ask questions and deliver your best.

Our specialist areas include VAT/indirect tax, employer solutions, private client services, corporate tax, innovation reliefs, transfer pricing, capital allowances and tax investigations, so there’s plenty of room to find where you fit.

Please note the only area available in this location currently is Corporate Tax.

Whatever Your Specialism, You’ll Be

• Working directly with clients and colleagues on both compliance and advisory.
• Building expertise across UK and international tax, supported by a globally connected team.
• Developing the confidence, judgement and technical skills to become a trusted business adviser.
• Using digital tools to work smarter and add more value for our clients.

What we’re looking for

We’re looking for graduates who are curious, motivated and ready to get involved. You don’t need to have studied tax before, we’ll give you the training, support and experience to build your career from day one.

To Be Considered, You’ll Need

• An obtained or predicted honours degree.
• A minimum of 112 UCAS points across 3 A levels (or equivalent level 3 qualification), 104 UCAS points across four Scottish Highers/Advanced Highers, or an Irish Leaving Certificate (higher level).
• An existing, permanent right to live and work in the UK.
• A willingness to travel to client sites and other offices as required.
• RSM doesn’t accept General Studies, AS levels or the Extended Project Qualification (EPQ).

Your start date will be 14 September 2027. Start dates are mandatory – the training you receive from day one is designed to give you the best possible start to your career with us.

What we can offer you

You’ll get structured training, professional qualifications and real client experience in a team where every voice is heard. You’ll be supported to grow your technical knowledge, build commercial confidence and shape a career that feels like your own.

• Fully funded three-year study programme towards ACA, ATT, ADIT and/or CTA professional qualifications. Your qualification pathway depends on the area of tax you join.
• Learn through a mix of client work, structured training including paid study leave, time at college, mentoring and internal development programmes.
• Access lifestyle, health and wellbeing benefits, including financial wellbeing support, that you can tailor to your needs.

Please note we can only consider one application per person per recruitment cycle.

Diversity and Inclusion at RSM

At RSM, we want to create a strong sense of belonging so that people of all identities, backgrounds, and cultures feel they can bring their true self to work. Our clients come from all walks of life. We aim to achieve that same diversity of background, experience and perspective in our own teams, so that we can genuinely understand our client's needs. Diverse teams bring a broader range of ideas and insights to work. That's why we're working together to ensure our firm's principles and processes support a firm culture that embraces difference and strengthens inclusion.
