About the Role

**Assistant Manager

  • Private Client Partnerships Tax**

RSM UK

At RSM UK, we are part of one of the world’s largest networks of audit, tax, and consulting firms, helping middle-market businesses succeed through big ideas, expert insight, and exceptional service.

We are a firm with bold ambitions and a clear global vision: to become the premium adviser to the middle market. That ambition drives everything we do and inspires our people to grow, improve, and make a meaningful difference every day.

If you are looking for a role where you can build a long-term career, contribute to high-quality client work, and make a real impact, RSM could be the right place for you.


The Opportunity

We are looking for an Assistant Manager to join our Private Client Partnerships Tax team.

This team supports a diverse client base, including individuals, trustees, partnerships, sole traders, and family-owned businesses, helping them manage their tax affairs across both compliance and advisory matters.

In this role, you will take responsibility for delivering a high-quality tax service to a varied portfolio of clients, while also supporting Directors and Partners on client matters, team management, and specific tax projects.


What You’ll Be Doing

As an Assistant Manager, you will play an important role in both client delivery and team development. Your responsibilities will include:

  • Acting as a key point of contact for clients, working closely with Partners and Directors

  • Building and maintaining strong client relationships, ensuring an excellent standard of service

  • Managing tax compliance work across a portfolio of clients

  • Overseeing portfolio management, ensuring deadlines and service expectations are met

  • Maintaining quality standards, ensuring work is completed in line with firm procedures and professional requirements

  • Identifying risks, technical issues, and potential opportunities, escalating appropriately to senior colleagues

  • Monitoring work in progress and helping to ensure strong recoverability

  • Supporting budgeting and billing activities alongside Partners and Directors

  • Supervising, coaching, and mentoring junior team members to support their development

  • Briefing junior staff on client assignments, business context, and delivery expectations

  • Reviewing and overseeing tax returns and computations

  • Ensuring work is delivered efficiently and with effective risk management

  • Strengthening internal and external professional relationships across the firm and client base


About You

We are looking for someone who combines strong technical capability with a collaborative and proactive approach.

To succeed in this role, you will likely bring:

  • ATT qualification or a comparable professional qualification

  • Strong tax knowledge gained within a private client or personal tax environment

  • Exposure to partnership tax, which would be advantageous, though not essential

  • Experience managing a portfolio of clients

  • Knowledge of client onboarding, engagements, billing, recoverability improvement, and cash collection

  • The ability to work well independently and as part of a wider team

  • Confidence working with both senior stakeholders and junior colleagues

  • Excellent communication and organisational skills

  • A genuine ambition to develop your career in a growing and supportive team


Why Join RSM?

RSM offers more than just a job — it is a place where you can develop your expertise, work with a broad and interesting client base, and be part of a firm with a strong sense of direction and purpose.

Joining RSM means becoming part of a business that values:

  • Ambition

  • Collaboration

  • High-quality client service

  • Professional growth

  • Meaningful career progression

If you are ready to take the next step in your tax career and join a firm where your contribution truly matters, we would love to hear from you.
