Make an Impact at RSM UK – Tax
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. You will help clients save money, mitigate tax risks, navigate the complex landscape of reporting requirements, and create value.
You’ll have the opportunity to work directly with clients. For individuals, you’ll immerse yourself in their unique financial world, uncovering how family wealth is built, nurtured, and passed down. For companies, you’ll explore how they can maximize post-tax profits, harness tax incentives, and plan a seamless tax-efficient exit.
Our business 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.
You’ll make an impact by:
* Collaborating with people across the business and engaging directly with our clients.
* Enhancing your skills, knowledge, and capabilities, benefiting both our clients and your professional development.
What we are looking for:
* A minimum of 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) and a predicted/obtained honours degree.
* A team-oriented mindset, curiosity about business operations, and the interplay between taxation, personal wealth, and financial goals.
* 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 our team.
What we can offer you:
* Build a network of contacts and gain advice from our expert mentors.
* Access to lifestyle, health, and wellbeing benefits tailored to your requirements.
* If you perform well, you could be given the opportunity to join one of our graduate training programmes.
Please be aware that not all Tax business areas are available for all locations and for some offices we now have limited numbers of positions remaining. If we cannot meet the preference(s) outlined within your application, we will discuss this with you at the point of virtual assessment centre invitation.
Following changes to government policy in April 2024, we only accept applications from individuals with an existing, permanent right to live and work in the UK.
The start date for this role is Tuesday 26th August 2025. Please note, our start dates are mandatory due to the internal and professional training you receive upon joining the firm.
