About the Role
This is an opportunity to start earning and continue learning, doing things you probably didn't think were possible straight out of school or college. In consulting, the learning never stops.
What is Consulting?
Organisations 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. 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 will happen in client meetings, project discussions and conversations with colleagues.
Your Starting Point
You’ll join one of two solutions: Finance Function Support or Risk and Governance, to start developing a valuable range of skills.
What You Could Be Doing
You’ll spend five days a week in the office or with clients. 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.
- Conducting interviews, reviewing documents, analysing data and testing how organisations manage risk.
- Taking part in the full audit and assurance lifecycle.
- Delivering practical recommendations that help organisations strengthen the way they work.
What We Are Looking For
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.
- 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).
What We Can Offer You
You’ll get structured training, professional qualifications and real client experience. You’ll be supported to grow your technical knowledge, build commercial confidence and shape a career that feels like your own.
- Study towards the CMDA 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.
Your start date will be 14 September 2027.
