About The Position

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, ERP Software Partners and Government Services. We are driven by a people-first mission to be the best home for businesses and their leaders, by marrying capital allocation with inspired operations. The Evergreen holding company team is comprised of 40+ 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. As an Accounting & BizOps Leader, you will own all accounting, financial reporting, and budgeting processes while contributing to the growth and operational maturity of a high-growth, private equity-backed business. You will drive timely financial operations, implement scalable systems, and support audits and compliance. In addition, you will also be responsible for overseeing the day-to-day business operations of the organization including but not limited to employee management/administration, new business and growth initiatives, and contract administration. You will serve as a crucial operator and thought partner within the business both as a leader for its employees, as well as a representative of the holding company. We are looking for someone who is excited to own the numbers, excel in an entrepreneurial environment supported by proven playbooks, and who has a can-do attitude to truly operate and manage a growing business. This role will report to the CEO and be based in the Anchorage area.
