Make an Impact at RSM UK – Tax 

Envision pursuing a career path where each day presents a unique challenge, a chance for growth and filled with possibilities. Our tax graduate apprenticeship programme is your gateway to a future, brimming with opportunities and new 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, applying them into real-life solutions for our clients, help clients save money, mitigate tax risks, navigate the complex landscape of reporting requirements and help create value.  

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, for stakeholders, harness tax incentives, expand their global reach navigating international tax rules or even plan a seamless tax-efficient exit. Each client interaction is a chance to make a real impact. 

Our business areas within Team Tax includes VAT/Indirect Tax, Employer Solutions, Private Client Services, Corporate Tax, Innovation and Creative Sector Reliefs, Transfer Pricing, Capital Allowances and Tax Investigations. You’ll make an impact by: 

  • Being part of Team Tax, you’ll collaborate with people right across the business and engage directly with our clients. 
  • Without even noticing it, you’ll enhance your skills, knowledge, and capabilities, benefiting both our clients and your own professional development, learning to uphold high standards, be responsive, meet deadlines and communicate effectively to consistently exceed expectations. 

As you near the end of your apprenticeship, 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 the rewarding opportunity to help the next generation on their journey by mentoring junior team members. 

What we are looking for

At RSM, we don't just look for good exam results. We think passion, personality and originality are just as important. To be considered for this opportunity, your qualifications, skills & experience will include: 

  • A minimum of 112 UCAS points across 3 A Levels or an equivalent level 3 qualification; and 104 UCAS points across 4 Scottish Highers/Advanced Highers or Irish Leaving Certificate (Higher Level) and a predicted/achieved undergraduate degree. 
  • A team-oriented mindset, curiosity about business operations, and the interplay between taxation, personal wealth, and financial goals.
  • Having the determination to tackle challenges head-on and apply yourself in readiness for hard work necessary to become a Tax Adviser.
  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills.
  • Comfort with numbers, an analytical mindset and an interest in tax legislation.
  • Must be willing to travel to client sites and other offices as required. 

If that sounds like you, we know you’ll enjoy being part of Team Tax. 

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

What we can offer you

When you join Team Tax, you’ll enjoy a powerful combination of on-the-job learning and structured training – not to mention 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 and/or CTA professional qualifications (depending on which bit of Team Tax you join). The study will be hard work, but the benefits will be worth it. 
  • 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’s future.
  • Alongside technical training, you will attend internal development training courses to ensure you have the professional and personal skills to become a trusted tax adviser.
  • You’ll have access to lifestyle, health and wellbeing, including financial wellbeing benefits which you can tailor to your requirements.

The start date for this role is Monday 18th August 2025. Please note, our 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.

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

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.
