We’re working with a progressive, growing accountancy firm in the South East who are looking for a passionate Business Services Manager to join their expanding team.

  • Preparing statutory accounts and corporation tax returns

  • Producing insightful management accounts and reports

  • Supporting clients with personal tax compliance

  • Providing commercial, value-added business advice

  • Overseeing junior staff and reviewing their work

  • Advising on share schemes (EMI), EIS/SEIS, and R&D tax claims

  • Taking part in BD initiatives and client engagement

About You

  • ACA or ACCA qualified with 2+ years’ post-qualified experience

  • Proven ability to manage clients and deliver a broad mix of services

  • Comfortable with both compliance and advisory work

  • Strong attention to detail, excellent communication, and a proactive mindset

  • Experience with Company Secretarial matters is a bonus

  • Interested in contributing to a forward-thinking, people-first firm

What’s On Offer

  • Salary up to £55,000 - £65,000 depending on experience

  • Flexible working – full-time or part-time considered

  • A strong wellbeing programme and active social calendar

  • Ongoing CPD and development support

  • Friendly, collaborative culture where ideas are welcomed

If you're looking for a role where your skills will be valued, your input will make a difference, and your career will keep progressing — this could be the move for you.
