Accounting and business advisory - get the career you want at RSM


Our accounting and business advisory school leaver apprenticeship programme will give you all the skills and support you need to unlock a future that's packed with opportunities and new experiences.

You'll enjoy a fast-tracked business career that recognises your potential and rewards your ambition.


When you join our team, 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 culture that nurtures individuality and an environment where everyone is supported to reach their potential. With us, you'll always be moving forward.

What does our accounting and business advisory team do?

Our accounting and business advisory team makes sure companies' financial statements comply with government regulations and industry standards.

We also advise on business strategies, provide companies with financial forecasts and prepare management accounts that show an accurate picture of business performance.

Our work helps put a set of figures into perspective. We help our clients understand what the management accounts actually say about the state of their business. We help them identify key areas where they could improve performance.

We also provide daily advice to clients across a wide range of industry sectors.

Many do not have in-house advisers who can help them deal with day-to-day issues, so our team is often the first port of call when they have financial or business-related questions.

What can you expect?

RSM's school leaver apprenticeship in accounting and business advisory offers top quality career development.

With us, you'll get involved in client work very quickly, and get the chance to learn about different types of businesses from varying industry sectors.

The depth of services and clients you'll be exposed to early on will help you jump-start your accountancy career.

When you join this team, you'll work towards your professional qualifications by completing a 5-year apprenticeship programme.

This consists of the AAT qualification with the Association of Accounting Technicians for the first two years, followed by the ACA qualification with the Institute of Chartered Accountants of England and Wales (ICAEW) for the remaining three years.

If you are based in Scotland, you will complete the AAT first then the Chartered Accountancy (CA) qualification with the Institute of Chartered Accountants of Scotland (ICAS).

If you are based in Ireland, you will complete the AAT first then the Chartered Accountancy (CA) qualification with Chartered Accountants Ireland (CAI).

Initially, you'll be working as part of a larger team.

Once you've completed your initial professional qualifications, the complexity of your workload will increase and you'll have the opportunity to take on more individual responsibilities and get involved in more challenging accounting issues, such as applying international accounting standards.

With RSM, you'll have the space to grow and be challenged and with our support, you'll become a true trusted adviser to your clients.

What we look for

We're on the lookout for enthusiastic self-starters who are quick to learn and always up for a challenge. You'll be working on a wide variety of projects, so it's important that you're adaptable and highly organised.

Strong verbal and written communication skills are essential as you'll be communicating at all levels, often explaining complex information both in meetings and in written reports.

We also look for team players who enjoy interacting with others and are curious about how businesses work.

If that sounds like you, we know you'll enjoy being part of our team.

Flexible working

At RSM we work hard to create an environment where our people can make a difference - to themselves, their career, their teams, and to the success of our firm and clients.

We support all our people to work flexibly, to manage their family and other responsibilities alongside their work commitments; we believe this is key to achieving an inspiring and fulfilling working environment.

Our recruitment process


Please note, for those who perform well throughout our assessment process, should your first preference be unavailable, you could potentially be offered a role in another location or department.

This would always be discussed with you in this instance.

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

Entry requirements

At RSM, we don't just look for good exam results. We think passion, personality and originality are just as important.

You will need:


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

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

At RSM we work hard to create an environment where our people can make a difference - to themselves, their career, their teams, and to the success of our firm and clients.

We support all our people to work flexibly, to manage their family and other responsibilities alongside their work commitments; we believe this is key to achieving an inspiring and fulfilling working environment.
