Why join Team Tax?
A career in ‘Team Tax’ is about becoming a qualified accountant and/or tax adviser, understanding and applying tax laws both in the UK and internationally. It’s about applying the law to real life and working with our clients to add value - from saving money, ensuring they mitigate tax risks and comply with reporting requirements.
In Team Tax, you’ll combine work and study, gaining an understanding of tax as you build a career you love - so everybody wins! You’ll study towards the ACA, ATT and/or CTA professional qualifications (depending on which bit of Team Tax you join).
Tax is a technically demanding discipline, so we look for graduates who are always up for a challenge and thrive grasping new subjects. While you don’t have to be a maths genius, you will need to be comfortable with numbers, have the ability to develop an analytical mindset, and enjoy the prospect of delving into tax legislation. 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.
You will get to work directly with clients. If it’s an individual it might be understanding their family wealth, how they create it and how they want to share it with future generations. If it’s a company then it might be understanding how they plan to grow, benefit from government tax incentives, return profits to stakeholders, expand internationally, or exit their business in a tax efficient manner.
