Description
Business Services Director
Ref: CWK802
Salary: £75,000 - £105,000 (DOE)
Scarborough
A rare and significant opportunity has arisen for an experienced Business Services Director to join a leading firm of Chartered Accountants in North Yorkshire, and we are proud to be supporting them in finding the right individual for a role that carries real strategic influence, a varied and well-established client base, and flexible working, a company pension, and much more on offer within a firm that is serious about its future.
Crowe Watson Recruitment is one of a very small number of specialist accountancy recruiters with the experience and professional network to handle a Director level appointment of this nature with the discretion and care it demands. The team has a genuine understanding of the Yorkshire accountancy market at senior level, and brings that understanding to every aspect of the search process, from the initial briefing through to the final stages of negotiation. For a career move of this significance, Crowe Watson is the right partner to have alongside you.
Scarborough may not be the first place that comes to mind for a Director level appointment, but the quality of this opportunity and the strength of the firm’s position within the local and regional market make it one that any senior business services professional with ambition and a desire for a different pace of life would do well to consider seriously. As Business Services Director, you will take a leading and highly influential role in shaping and delivering the firm’s business services offering, overseeing a substantial and varied client portfolio, driving the development of the team around you, and working in close partnership with the firm’s partners on strategy, business development, and the longer term growth of the practice. For a senior professional who combines exceptional technical expertise with strong commercial instincts and the leadership capability to make a real and lasting impact, this is a compelling opportunity. 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.
