Winchester
This is a senior and influential Business Services Senior Manager opportunity with a leading firm of Chartered Accountants in Winchester, sitting within a well-regarded and ambitious practice with a technically varied client base, a clear pathway to partnership, and flexible working, a company pension, and much more on offer.
Crowe Watson Recruitment is one of a very small number of specialist accountancy recruiters with the experience and professional network to handle a senior appointment of this nature with the discretion and care it demands.

For a move of this significance, Crowe Watson is the right partner to have alongside you.
Winchester sits within one of the most commercially active and prosperous areas of the South of England, with strong connectivity to Southampton, London, and the wider South Coast market, and this firm has built a well-respected business services practice that reflects the quality and diversity of its local business community. As Business Services Senior Manager, you will take a leading role in overseeing the delivery of accounts and wider business services across a varied and prestigious client portfolio, working closely with partners on strategy and business development, and driving the development of the managers and junior staff around you. The firm has a clear and structured pathway to partnership for the right individual, and the ambition and client base to make that a realistic and near-term prospect. 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.
