Finance Manager - Operating Company

Evergreen Services Group

Evergreen Services Group

Accounting & Finance
San Francisco, CA, USA
Posted on Sep 17, 2024

Evergreen Services Group is a San Francisco based holding company that acquires and operates B2B services companies across North America. Since its founding in late 2017, Evergreen has completed 100+ acquisitions across Managed IT Services, Cybersecurity, Financial Software and Government Services. We are driven by a people first mission to marry capital allocation with inspired operations, thus creating North America’s best home for businesses.

The Evergreen holding company team is comprised of 35+ professionals based in San Francisco who are focused on capital allocation, M&A, executive level hiring, strategic board leadership, and finance and accounting. Evergreen is a uniquely long-term oriented holding company that seeks to hold and grow businesses indefinitely rather than follow the 5-7 year holding period of a typical private equity fund. This allows us to take a truly long-term view on performance and people. Evergreen is backed by Alpine Investors, a leading private equity firm focused on the services and software industries with $16B+ in AUM.

Job Description:

As Finance Manager at an Evergreen-backed operating company, you will be the financial leader for the business. You will lead FP&A and accounting and participate in M&A integration as a core strategic partner in the business. Placed at one of our newly acquired operating companies in the wealth management space, you will be a boots-on-the-ground leader transforming and then managing the finance and accounting functions to meet Evergreen’s reporting requirements. You will report directly to the operating company’s COO and work with the cross-functional leadership team to manage the business to achieve growth targets. You’ll regularly engage with the industry vertical leadership teams on company-wide initiatives, gaining firsthand exposure to the requirements of a private equity-backed company.

We’re looking for smart, ambitious, and gritty finance professionals with a desire to lead a finance function at one our operating companies.

Location: San Francisco Bay Area

Responsibilities:

  • Stand-up financial and operational processes and procedures that meet Evergreen’s post-acquisition reporting and internal control requirements
  • Facilitate a transition of the routine accounting function to the shared service center
  • Deliver timely and accurate financial reporting monthly to the Board in compliance with GAAP accounting standards
  • Create actionable and insightful financial analysis to help drive the right strategic decisions and efficiently allocate capital
  • Develop accurate financial forecasts, lead annual budgeting process, and proactively manage the financial health of the business to these forecasts and budgets
  • Work with the COO to deliver business performance that is repeatedly tracking to expected growth targets

Requirements:

  • Demonstrated leadership experience and ability to persevere through adversity
  • Strong financial acumen and demonstrated success in highly analytical roles
  • Ability to work independently and cross-functionally
  • Humble, accountable, and growth-minded
  • Positive attitude, high EQ, and natural competitive intensity
  • Ownership mindset and willingness to roll-up your sleeves
  • Excitement about being a finance leader for the long-term
  • MBA, CPA, or CFA is a plus
  • Public accounting experience a plus

We encourage you to apply even if you feel that you do not meet all of the above qualifications. Frequently cited statistics show that women and underrepresented groups apply to jobs only if they meet 100% of the qualifications. Evergreen encourages you to break that statistic and to apply. No one ever meets 100% of the requirements. We look forward to your application!
