You've finished school. Now comes the big question. What's next?

University is one option, but it’s not the only one. This is your opportunity to start earning and continue learning, doing things you probably didn't think were possible straight out of school or college.

In fact, in consulting, the learning never stops.

WHAT IS CONSULTING

The organisations we work with are navigating new technology, changing regulation, economic uncertainty and rising expectations. They need people who can connect ideas, understand businesses and solve problems that rarely have straightforward answers.

That's where your career starts. From day one, you'll contribute to real client work, learning alongside experienced colleagues and gradually taking on more responsibility as your confidence grows.

Most of your learning won't happen behind a screen. It'll happen in client meetings, project discussions and conversations with colleagues who've spent years helping organisations solve complex challenges.

YOUR STARTING POINT

You’ll join one of our two biggest solutions,  finance function support  or risk and governance, to start developing a valuable range of skills that could ultimately take you anywhere in consulting.

Every organisation needs confidence in its finances. Confidence that today’s picture is accurate, reporting meets the right standards, and the business is ready for what comes next.

But numbers are only the beginning.

You can find more information about each area of Consulting here.

WHAT YOU COULD BE DOING

You’ll spend five days a week in the office or with clients because that's where real consulting happens, working experienced colleagues who'll support you, challenge you and help you build confidence as you go.

Depending on which solution you join, you could be:

• Preparing statutory financial statements and supporting financial reporting and compliance activities.

• Turning financial information into meaningful insight that helps clients make confident decisions.

• Meeting people at every level of an organisation, from frontline teams to senior leadership.

• Conducting interviews, reviewing documents, analysing data and testing how organisations manage risk.

• Taking part in the full audit and assurance lifecycle, from planning through to report writing and presenting findings.

• Delivering practical recommendations that help organisations strengthen the way they work.

WHAT WE ARE LOOKING FOR

You don't need experience, you don't need to know exactly where your career is heading and you definitely don't need all the answers.

We're looking for people who are curious, aren’t afraid to ask questions, who want to get involved and who enjoy working with others.

To be considered, you’ll need to have:

• A minimum of 112 UCAS points across three A levels (or equivalent level 3 qualification) or 104 UCAS points across four Scottish Highers/Advanced Highers or an Irish Leaving Certificate (higher level)

• An existing permanent right to live and work in the UK for this role.

• A willingness to travel to client sites and other offices as required.

RSM does not accept General Studies, AS levels or the Extended Project Qualification (EPQ).

Your start date will be 14 September 2027. Start dates are mandatory – the training you receive from day one is designed to give you the best possible start to your career with us.

WHAT WE CAN OFFER YOU

You’ll get structured training, professional qualifications and real client experience in a team where every voice is heard. You’ll be supported to grow your technical knowledge, build commercial confidence and shape a career that feels like your own.

• Study towards the AAT qualification

• Learn through a mix of client work, structured training including paid study leave, time at college, mentoring and internal development programmes.

• Access lifestyle, health and wellbeing benefits, including financial wellbeing support, that you can tailor to your needs.

Your career doesn't start when you know everything. It starts when you’re ready to learn.

If you’re looking for a career where you’ll earn, learn and make a real contribution from day one, we’d love to hear from you.

Join RSM and start building your future today.

Please note we can only consider one application per person per recruitment cycle.
