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. You’ll 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 maximize post-tax profits, 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 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:
* Being part of Team Tax, collaborating with people across the business and engaging directly with our clients.
* Enhancing 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, 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:
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.

* Excellent written and verbal communication skills.
* Comfort with numbers, an analytical mindset, and an interest in tax legislation.

If that sounds like you, we know you’ll enjoy being part of Team Tax.
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.
* You’ll study towards the ACA, ATT, and/or CTA professional qualifications (depending on which bit of Team Tax you join).
