Our national client base covers a wide range of industries and ranges from individuals and owner managed businesses, to large corporations and public sector organisations.

RSM Tenon puts clients at the heart of everything we do. We strive to achieve this goal through excellent people providing excellent client service.

What is Tax?

Tax is a fact of life – it is deducted from our wages, levied on our purchases (VAT), paid by companies and rarely out of the news headlines these days.
However, to think Tax is just about numbers is wrong. Yes there are numbers involved but to us a career in Tax is all about working with people and businesses, getting to know our clients and working with them to manage what tax they pay and to achieve their goals.
Our Tax team provide services to all shapes and sizes of businesses, from entrepreneurs to the large multinational corporate. The services we provide are tailored to the individual needs of our clients which means that we get to know our clients well and work in partnership with them.

Our teams:

We offer trainee opportunities in Audit, Accounting, Outsourcing and Tax.
The key to our service is based on gaining an understanding of our clients’ needs and issues and providing solutions, rather than off the shelf services, that call upon experience across the wider business.
The depth of services and clients you will be exposed to early in your career will provide you with a jump start into the varied world of Tax and we will expose you to the skills you require to become a true trusted advisor to your clients in the future.

Your training and development:

As a graduate, we know you’ll want real hands on experience, enough scope to carve out your own position and a career with excellent long term prospects.
Your development within your role will be optimised by training from our RSM Tenon Academy, our programme of internal courses, external training and on-the-job mentoring. Highly regarded within the industry, you will embark on a programme that is among the best. Our on-going structured programme of skills development will support your career post qualification ensuring you are well-equipped to meet both our clients’ and your own personal expectations throughout your career with RSM Tenon.
Following the successful completion of ATT (Association of Taxation Technicians) you will go on to study CTA (Chartered Tax Asscociation).
We will give you all the support you need to help you pass your exams including fantastic tuition, exam and study leave.

Your profile:

We’re looking for enthusiastic 2.1 calibre graduates who are quick to learn, driven and dedicated. You will possess a minimum of 280 UCAS points (excluding General Studies). As a graduate it is assumed you will have no prior knowledge or experience of your preferred business area.
You will be passionate, highly motivated and driven towards a career in Tax, demonstrating a mature attitude.
You will get involved in a variety of tasks and trainees will be expected to demonstrate a willingness to learn, therefore flexibility and adaptability is an absolute must!
Strong verbal communication skills are essential as trainees will communicate at all levels, often speaking with clients in person and over the phone, explaining complex information.
It is the aim of RSM Tenon to promote equal opportunities for all regardless of a person’s sex, marital status, sexual orientation, age, race, colour, nationality, ethnic or racial origins, religion, or disability in relation to all aspects of employment of its people generally and, more particularly, in relation to the recruitment, training, promotion, terms of employment, treatment and working environment of all its people.
