Description
An experienced Business Services Manager is sought by a leading firm of Chartered Accountants in Peterborough, and this is a role that combines genuine management responsibility with a varied and interesting client portfolio and a firm that has built a strong reputation in the local market, with flexible working, a company pension, and much more on offer.
Crowe Watson Recruitment has a strong and well-established presence across the East of England accountancy market, and the Peterborough area is one the team knows particularly well. Every search is approached with the same level of care and diligence, with a genuine effort made to understand not just the technical requirements of a role but the culture of the firm and the longer term opportunity it represents for the right candidate. That thorough and considered approach is what consistently delivers placements that work well for both sides.
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. Peterborough is a commercially active and growing city, and this firm has built a strong and well-regarded presence within its business community over many years, providing a genuinely stimulating environment in which an experienced manager can do their best work. For someone who combines strong technical ability with confident client management skills and a genuine desire to contribute to the growth and success of a well-run practice, this is a role that has a great deal to offer.
