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 possibilities. Our tax graduate programme is your gateway to a future filled with opportunities and experiences.

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. You will apply these laws into real-life solutions for our clients, helping them save money, mitigate tax risks, navigate reporting requirements, and create value.

Every day, you’ll work with a team of experienced professionals who understand the balance of exam training and work. They will support you to deliver your best.

You’ll have the opportunity to work directly with clients. For individuals, you’ll explore their financial world and understand how family wealth is built, nurtured, and passed down. For companies, you’ll learn how to maximize post-tax profits, manage tax risks, harness incentives to reduce liabilities, expand globally, or plan tax-efficient exits. Each interaction allows you to make a real impact, especially as AI advances increase the importance of your role.

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.

Whatever your chosen area, you’ll make an impact by:

• Collaborating across the business and engaging directly with clients

While developing your skills, knowledge, and capabilities, you will learn to be responsive, meet deadlines, communicate effectively, and uphold high standards to exceed expectations.

As you progress, you’ll gain a deeper understanding of your area of tax, handling more complex client portfolios and responsibilities. You may also mentor junior team members, helping the next generation grow.

• Determination to overcome challenges and commit to passing your exams to become a business adviser
• Excellent communication skills
• 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 obtained or predicted honours degree
• Willingness to travel to client sites and offices as needed

The start date for this role is 15 September 2026. Our start dates are mandatory due to training requirements, ensuring a strong start to your career.
