Corporate finance - get the career you want at RSM


Our graduate apprenticeship programme within the capital markets team will give you all the skills and support you need to unlock a future in corporate finance that's packed with opportunities and new experiences.

You'll enjoy a fast-tracked business career that recognises your potential and rewards your ambition.


When you join our team, you'll enjoy a powerful combination of on-the-job learning and structured training - not to mention an impressive client list to work with.

You'll discover a culture that nurtures individuality and an environment where everyone is supported to reach their potential. With us, you'll always be moving forward.


What does our capital markets team do?


Our team has decades of experience in supporting companies floating on the AIM or the Main Market of the London Stock Exchange and in helping already listed companies with their transactions such as acquisitions or raising further funds.


Our team is one of the most active reporting accountants in the UK, often advising on the most deals on the AIM market in recent years.


Key responsibilities will include (but not limited to):
Reviewing the audit files produced by the client's auditor and supplementing that work to allow RSM to sign off a reporting accountant opinion;
Performing financial due diligence and producing unbiased reports to help the client's advisors and potential investors understand the client and the key drivers of the client's business;
Review and stress test financial models produced by the client and prepare reports on their forecasts;
Evaluate the financial control environment of the client to ensure it aligns with that expected of a listed company;
Liaising with the client and their other advisors, including their sponsor or nominated advisor, lawyers and brokers;
Drafting proposals, letters of engagement and completion letters;
Attending pitches, project management meetings with clients and advisors and closing meetings with all parties.

The Capital Markets team are based in London.


What can you expect?


You can expect to be working on live projects from day one as the current market is full of opportunities.

You will be getting a balanced experience due to the variety of workstreams a reporting accountant engages in, and the fast-paced nature of the industry means you will never be engaged on one project for too long.

You will be working with businesses from a broad range of industries and sectors both here in the UK and abroad.


At RSM, you'll benefit from on-the-job training from more senior members of the team and gain access to our internal training courses that will help you develop in the role, including courses to teach you capital markets and corporate finance specific skills.

These residential courses give you the opportunity to interact with your peers and learn directly from service line experts within our departments.


When you join this team, you'll work towards the ACA qualification with the Institute of Chartered Accountants of England and Wales (ICAEW), or your Chartered Accountancy (CA) qualification with the Institute of Chartered Accountants of Scotland (ICAS) or with Chartered Accountants Ireland (CAI).


What we look for


We're on the lookout for students with a 'can-do' attitude who are prepared to work hard and take on high levels of responsibility.

As a small team, we also look for team players who enjoy interacting with others and are able to balance tight deadlines with the more social aspects of being in the team.

You'll be working on multiple projects at the same time, so time management and organisational skills are key.

Confidence with numbers and business awareness is a must, but you'll also need excellent communication skills and be able to forge strong working relationships with people from all backgrounds.

Competency in Microsoft Word, Excel and PowerPoint is essential.

If that sounds like you, we know you'll enjoy being part of our team.

You may also potentially be offered a role in another department. This would always be discussed with you in the first instance.
