As the 7th largest accounting firm in the UK and the 6th largest network of audit, tax and consulting firms worldwide, RSM delivers big ideas and a premium service to help middle-market businesses thrive. We are a fast-growing firm with big ambitions - we have a clear vision to become the premium adviser to the middle market, globally.

We know that great teams are made up of people from all backgrounds, with skills as varied as their personalities. If you are looking for a firm where you can build a future and make an impact, then RSM is the place for you.

Why join team Tax?

Tax is a technically demanding discipline, so we look for people who are always up for a challenge and thrive grasping new subjects. While you don’t have to be a maths genius, you will need to be comfortable with numbers, have the ability to develop an analytical mindset, and enjoy the prospect of delving into tax legislation. As you grow in Team Tax, you’ll benefit from being mentored in a culture that wants you to be the best version of you, to grow and be part of RSM.

Undertaking a placement year with RSM means you will get to work directly with clients. If it’s an individual it might be understanding their family wealth, how they create it and how they want to share it with future generations.

If it’s a company then it might be understanding how they plan to grow, benefit from government tax incentives, return profits to stakeholders, expand internationally, or exit their business in a tax efficient manner. It’s about applying tax law to real life and working with our clients to add value - from saving money, ensuring they mitigate tax risks and comply with reporting requirements.

See below for further details about applying and the different and exciting areas of Team Tax that have vacancies for this location.

We welcome applicants who are adaptable, motivated and looking to elevate their career to the next level.

RSM will only take one application into consideration per recruitment cycle. We do not accept multiple applications to different vacancies.

Our tax rotations may include the following departments

Vat/indirect tax
VAT is a tax on the sale of a product or service, so considering how it applies and the compliance related to it is always important to our clients. It impacts nearly every business transaction and over 150 countries around the world have a VAT/GST system.

The case law and regulations in VAT are constantly evolving, making VAT a dynamic environment to work in as you will always be learning new rules and how they apply both in the UK and internationally, from routine compliance to specialist advice our client’s value.
Employer solutions
Working in our employer solutions tax team you will advise companies on one of their most vital assets - their people. Attracting and retaining the best talent is vital to business success, so we work closely with our clients to help them navigate the complexities of UK and global employment tax rules and advise them on the most effective ways to reward and incentivise their people. As you grow with us, you’ll get to work with HR & finance teams or even the most senior executives globally.
Private client services
Our private client tax team work closely with a huge variety of interesting individuals and their families, helping to navigate the complexities of the UK and international tax rules and compliance that impact their personal tax position. As you build your skills as an adviser, you’ll get the opportunity to work directly with the people that are personally impacted by your advice.
Corporate tax
Our corporate tax team work with organisations of all sizes, in all sectors and all over the world. From fast-growing privately-owned technology businesses to multinational groups listed on the London Stock Exchange with operations all over the world, you’ll get really involved in helping your clients comply with the reporting requirements and navigating the ever-increasing UK and global tax landscape.

From day one, you’ll learn the foundations of UK tax compliance and work closely with clients, advising on how to navigate an increasingly complicated UK and global tax landscape.
Innovation and creative sector reliefs
As a subset of the corporate tax team, you may be interested in joining the Innovation Reliefs national team.

The focus of this team is helping our UK corporate clients save tax (or even receive cash from the government) by getting tax relief for money a company spends, investing in cutting edge research and development, commercialising new inventions through registering patents, or in video games and other creative sector developments.

Client’s really value the work this team do and it is a key pillar of the current UK government’s strategy to encourage investment in innovation. Equally, you will gain exposure to some of the very latest developments in science and technology across all industries, working with a huge range of different businesses.
Transfer pricing
Transfer Pricing is another subset of our corporate tax team. You will be part of a national team advising multinational clients on how they price products, services, assets and financing between the companies in their group.

This team works with our clients to really understand their business, providing practical solutions and explaining complex technical concepts clearly and effectively. It means understanding and keeping up with a rapidly changing international tax system alongside teams from across RSM’s global transfer pricing specialist network.
Capital allowances
A subset of the corporate tax team, the Capital Allowances team focusses on helping our clients optimise the tax relief they get when they spend money on qualifying fixed assets (e.g. bits of kit in their factory). As part of this team, you will get to go out to companies’ sites, for example, when they are building a new plant. A great team to join if you want to wear a hard hat on the day job.

112 UCAS points across 3 A Levels or an equivalent level 3 qualification; 104 UCAS points across 4 Scottish Highers/Advanced Highers or Irish Leaving Certificate (Higher Level); and

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.
