Location: Glen Allen, Virginia
Schedule: Flexible Hybrid

Our client, a highly respected public accounting and advisory firm recognized as one of Virginia's top workplaces, is seeking a Supervisor / Manager to join its Business Services Group (BSG).

It's an opportunity to serve as a trusted advisor to privately held businesses, government contractors, nonprofit organizations, healthcare providers, construction companies, professional service firms, and high-net-worth clients while leading engagement teams, developing staff, and helping drive client success.

As a Supervisor or Manager, you'll become a primary point of contact for clients, oversee complex tax and advisory engagements, provide mentorship to accounting professionals, and contribute to business development initiatives. The position offers significant visibility with firm leadership and a clear path toward continued advancement.

If you're seeking a role that combines technical expertise, leadership responsibilities, client advisory work, and long-term career growth, we'd welcome a confidential conversation.
