One of our operating companies based in South Carolina is seeking a Financial Controller to spearhead finance and accounting functions. In addition to managing day-to-day accounting operations, this individual will liaise with our U.S.-based accounting team on reporting and analysis.

The Financial Controller will own several business functions and receive significant exposure to the organization.

As an Controller, 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.

  • Liaise for key business relationships such as banking, landlord, vendors, and suppliers
  • Willing to work Eastern hours.

Desired Attributes:
  • Financial leader who enjoys problem solving and excels in ambiguous environments
  • Ultra-accountability and ownership mindset - someone that "wants the ball" and deliver successful outcomes
  • Strong EQ and a growth mindset
  • Willingness to roll up your sleeves and get involved in all aspects of running a business from vision setting to tactical execution
  • Energized by a high-growth environment and opportunity for increased responsibility
  • Comfortable with ambiguity
  • Ability to communicate complex information at varying levels of detail
  • Spirit of continuous improvement to implement new processes

Qualifications:
  • 6 years of experience in accounting, with a strong understanding of financial statement preparation, multi-entity consolidation, and GAAP compliance
  • Experience in public accounting high preferred
  • Bachelor's degree in Accounting, Finance, Business Administration, or a related field

You'll operate across levels - equally comfortable as a hands-on contributor and a thought partner to senior leadership. Strong U.S. GAAP knowledge is required; experience in the MSP or tech services space is a plus.

The anticipated salary range for this role is $100,000 - $110,000, based on qualifications and experience.

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!
