Job description

An experienced and commercially minded Business Services Manager is sought by a leading firm of Chartered Accountants in Birmingham, and this is a role that combines genuine management responsibility with a varied and interesting client portfolio, a well-structured and collaborative team, and a firm that has built a strong reputation in one of the UK’s most dynamic professional services markets, with flexible working, a company pension, and much more on offer.

Crowe Watson Recruitment has a strong and well-established presence across the Midlands accountancy market, and the team brings a genuine understanding of the business services landscape in Birmingham and the wider region to every search it undertakes. Every introduction Crowe Watson makes is the result of a careful and considered process, one that takes into account not just technical fit but cultural alignment and longer term career trajectory, and that thoroughness is something both candidates and clients consistently value. For any business services professional considering their next move in Birmingham, Crowe Watson is a very sensible first conversation.

Birmingham is one of the UK’s most commercially vibrant and fast-growing cities, with a diverse and ambitious business community that provides an exceptional platform for any experienced manager looking to do their best work and build a genuinely outstanding career in practice. As Business Services Manager, you will take real ownership of a varied and interesting client portfolio, overseeing the delivery of accounts and wider business services to a broad range of clients whilst leading and developing a talented team of professionals around you. The firm has a clear and well-supported route to senior manager level, a culture that combines strong technical standards with a genuinely collaborative and inclusive way of working, and the kind of well-established local reputation that makes it an attractive long-term home for any ambitious and commercially minded accountancy professional. You might not meet all the criteria, but if you are passionate about developing yourself and your career, we’d love to hear from you.

Crowe Watson is acting as an Employment Agency. References to pay rates are indicative and salary is dependent on experience.
