Make an Impact at RSM UK – External Audit

There has never been a more exciting time to start a career in audit. The world is changing and the way we work is too. Join our audit team on a 12-month paid placement as part of your sandwich degree and gain practical experience working alongside current trainees and experienced audit professionals.

You'll get stuck into real client work, benefit from on-the-job training and access our internal training courses to help you develop throughout the year. Perform well, and there could be a place for you on one of our graduate training programmes when you finish your degree.

As a member of our audit team, you’ll conduct thorough, risk-focused reviews of clients’ financial records, processes, and controls, playing an important role in ensuring the accuracy of financial statements, and building trust and confidence among stakeholders.

• Working with a wide variety of clients, ranging from owner managed businesses, through to large listed groups as well as charities, pension schemes and other not-for-profit organisations.
