We are a fast-growing firm with ambitious plans and a clear global vision: to become the premium adviser to the middle market. That ambition drives everything we do and inspires our people to grow, improve, and make a meaningful difference every day.
If you are looking for a firm where you can build a long-term career, develop your expertise, and make a genuine impact, RSM could be the right place for you.
Why Join Our Tax Team?

Our team works with a diverse client base, including:
Owner-managed businesses
Private equity-backed companies
Large international organisations
We support clients across both tax compliance and specialist advisory matters, helping them navigate complexity and seize opportunities with confidence.
Within our transactions tax team, we advise on a broad range of matters, including:
Buy-side and sell-side tax due diligence
Transaction structuring advice
Private equity and related investment structures
Vendor assistance
Management tax planning
