Tax Assistant - School / College Leaver - Hull - September 2026
Make an Impact at RSM UK - Tax
Envision pursuing a career path where each day presents a unique challenge, a chance for growth and opportunities. Our tax school / college 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 to real-life client solutions, helping clients save money, mitigate tax risks, navigate reporting requirements, and create value.
Everyday you'll work with a team that balances exam training and work. You may be joining other school leavers who support you and ensure you can deliver your best, and you'll have the opportunity to work directly with clients. For individuals you'll explore their financial world, family wealth, and how it's built and passed down. For companies you'll explore how to maximise post‑tax profits, manage tax risks, harness incentives to reduce tax liability, expand global reach, navigate international tax rules, and plan tax-efficient exits. Each client interaction is a chance to make a real impact, and with advancing AI, your role is increasingly important.
Our 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 and Tax Investigations. Whatever your chosen specialism, you'll make an impact by working with people across the business and engaging directly with clients.
As you progress through your apprenticeship 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 opportunity to mentor junior team members.
What we are looking for
At RSM, we don't just look for good exam results. We value passion, personality and originality. To be considered for this opportunity, your skills, experience and qualifications should include:
* A team-oriented mindset, curiosity about business/financial operations, and the interplay between taxation, personal wealth, and financial goals
* A determination to tackle challenges and commit to the hard work necessary to pass exams and become a business adviser
* Excellent written and verbal communication skills
* Comfort with numbers, an analytical mindset, and an interest in the law
* 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)
If that sounds like you, we're excited for you to join Team Tax. Please note, RSM does not accept General Studies, AS levels or the Extended Project Qualification (EPQ). The start date for this role is 22 September 2026. Start dates are mandatory due to internal and professional training.
What we can offer you
When you join Team Tax, you'll experience a blend of on-the-job learning and structured training, along with access to an impressive client list. You'll discover a team culture that nurtures individuality and supports everyone to reach their potential. As part of Team Tax, you'll always be moving forward.
* You'll study towards the ATT qualification for the first two years and then towards ACA or CTA professional qualifications (depending on the area of Tax you join). The study will be hard work, but the benefits will be worth it.
* As you grow in Team Tax, you'll be mentored in a culture that wants you to be the best version of yourself and to be part of RSM's future.
* In addition to technical training, you'll attend internal development courses to build professional and personal skills to become a trusted business adviser.
* You'll have access to lifestyle, health and wellbeing benefits, including financial wellbeing options.
