Make an impact at RSM UK - Tax

Our tax graduate programme offers a unique career path filled with challenges, growth opportunities, and new experiences. A career in tax involves more than advising; you will work within Team Tax to understand and apply UK and international tax laws to real-world client solutions, helping clients save money, mitigate risks, navigate reporting requirements, and create value.

You will collaborate with a team that understands the balance between exam training and work, providing support to help you excel. You’ll have the chance to work directly with clients, exploring their financial worlds, optimizing profits, managing tax risks, leveraging incentives, expanding globally, or planning tax-efficient exits. With AI advancements, your role will become increasingly vital.

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

By participating in Team Tax, you’ll develop your skills, knowledge, and capabilities, benefiting clients and your professional growth. As you progress, your responsibilities will increase, including mentoring junior team members and managing more complex client portfolios.

What we're looking for:

We value passion, personality, and originality alongside academic results. To be considered, you should have:

• A team-oriented mindset, curiosity about business and finance, and an interest in taxation, wealth, and financial goals
• A determination to overcome challenges and commit to passing your exams to become a business adviser
• Excellent communication skills, both written and verbal
• Comfort with numbers, analytical skills, and an interest in law
• A minimum of 112 UCAS points across 3 A Levels or equivalent, or 104 UCAS points across 4 Scottish Highers/Advanced Highers or Irish Leaving Certificate, plus an honors degree or predicted honors degree
• Willingness to travel to client sites and other offices as required

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

The role starts on 22 September 2026. Our start dates are mandatory due to training requirements, ensuring you receive the best possible start.

What we can offer you:

Joining Team Tax means on-the-job learning, structured training, and access to a prestigious client list. Our culture supports individuality and growth, helping you reach your potential.

• Study towards ACA, ATT, ADIT, and/or CTA qualifications, with comprehensive support for exams
• Mentorship and a culture focused on your growth and success
• Internal development courses to build your professional and personal skills
