Audit Assistant; ACA Graduate

Overview

We're on the lookout for enthusiastic self-starters who are always up for a challenge. Audit is a technically demanding discipline, so we look for students who are quick to grasp new subjects. It's important you also have confidence with numbers and great attention to detail. You'll often need to explain complex financial information, so you'll need excellent written and verbal communication skills.

What separates us from our competitors is the financial acumen we demonstrate and we expect that right from the start from our people. At RSM, we don't just look for good exam results. We think passion, personality and originality are just as important.

At RSM we work hard to create an environment where our people can make a difference - to themselves, their career, their teams, and to the success of our firm and clients. We support all our people to work flexibly, to manage their family and other responsibilities alongside their work commitments; we believe this is key to achieving an inspiring and fulfilling working environment.

Diversity and Inclusion at RSM:
We want to create a strong sense of belonging so that people of all identities, backgrounds, and cultures feel they can bring their true self to work. Our clients come from all walks of life. We aim to achieve that same diversity of background, experience and perspective in our own teams, so that we can genuinely understand our client s needs.

Diverse teams bring a broader range of ideas and insights to work. That s why we re working together to ensure our firm s principles and processes support a firm culture that embraces difference and strengthens inclusion.
