Make an Impact at RSM UK – Tax


At RSM, you’ll have the chance to pursue a career path where each day presents a unique challenge, opportunities for growth, and is filled with possibilities. The tax school and college apprenticeship programme is your gateway to a future brimming with opportunities and new experiences.


A career in tax at RSM 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 to real-life solutions for clients. You’ll help clients save money, mitigate tax risks, navigate the complex landscape of reporting requirements, and create value.


Every day, you’ll work with a team of people who understand the balance between exam training and work. Within many teams, there are other school leavers who have joined Team Tax in recent years and are there to support you and help you deliver your best.


You’ll also have the opportunity to work directly with clients. For individuals, this means immersing yourself in their unique financial world, uncovering how family wealth is built, nurtured, and passed down to future generations. For companies, this involves exploring how they can maximise post-tax profits, manage their tax risks in an increasingly complex business environment, harness tax incentives to reduce overall tax liability, expand their global reach by navigating international tax rules, or even plan a seamless tax-efficient exit. Each client interaction is a chance to make a real impact — and with the advance of AI, the role you play is increasingly important.


Specialist areas within Team Tax include:

  • VAT / Indirect Tax
  • Employer Solutions
  • Private Client Services
  • Corporate Tax
  • Innovation and Creative Sector Reliefs
  • Transfer Pricing
  • Capital Allowances
  • Tax Investigations


Whatever your chosen specialism, you’ll make an impact by collaborating with colleagues right across the business and engaging directly with clients. In doing so, you’ll enhance your skills, knowledge, and capabilities — learning to be responsive, meet deadlines, communicate effectively, and uphold high standards to consistently exceed expectations.


As you progress through the programme, 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 by mentoring junior team members.


What RSM offers:

  • A powerful combination of on-the-job learning and structured training, alongside an impressive client list.
  • A team culture that nurtures individuality and supports everyone to reach their potential.
  • Study towards the ATT qualification for the first two years, followed by ACA or CTA professional qualifications, depending on your chosen area of tax.
  • Mentoring within a culture that encourages you to grow and be the best version of yourself.
  • Internal development training courses to build both technical and personal skills and become a trusted business adviser.
  • Access to lifestyle, health, wellbeing, and financial benefits that you can tailor to your needs.


At RSM, as part of Team Tax, you’ll always be moving forward.
