KPMG creates 20 new jobs in Birmingham with Small Business Accounting centre

KPMG in Birmingham has created 20 jobs with the opening of a new delivery centre in the city for its Small Business Accounting service.
 
The Small Business Accounting service gives customers unlimited access to a dedicated KPMG accountant responsible for all their accounting, bookkeeping, tax and payroll needs. The service has been created for entrepreneurs and small businesses.
 
Birmingham is the second city to have a delivery centre following the launch of the original facility in Glasgow, which opened in 2014. The new facility in Birmingham is warranted after the Scottish centre quickly reached full capacity.
 
KPME expects that if the Birmingham centre follows the same trend as in Glasgow then the 20-strong team could double in size by Christmas with more to follow in 2016.

Simon Purkess, KPMG Birmingham partner and Head of Small Business Accounting in the Midlands, said: “It is fantastic that Birmingham has been chosen as the location for our new Small Business Accounting delivery centre, and a great recognition of the skilled workforce our city and region has to offer.”
 
Bivek Sharma, Head of Small Business Accounting for KPMG UK, said: “The goal for Small Business Accounting is to make sure no small business owner has to spend more than 30 minutes a week on their books. We’ve been delighted by the demand for the service, and it’s because of this demand that we’re opening a second delivery centre only one year after the launch of Small Business Accounting. Our new centre will give even more small business owners the gift of time to further unlock their potential and productivity.”
