Our companies are operated independently by exceptional management teams. Companies that join our group retain the employees, name, and culture that have made them successful. As a platform of Evergreen Services Group, we never divest from businesses we partner with and approach every decision with the goal of driving sustainable and healthy growth over the long term.

We made our first acquisition at the beginning of 2018. Today, we hold a controlling stake in companies across the US, UK, Australia, New Zealand, and Canada. Our companies employ over 3000 team members, each led by its own management team.

The Financial Controller will own several business functions and receive significant exposure to the organization. We are seeking a creative problem solver with a growth mindset, as this opportunity represents a fast track to higher-level accounting and finance opportunities.

6. Play an integral hands-on role in customer billing processes, monthly and annual price changes, and billing-related incentives and commissions
7. Liaise for key business relationships such as: banking, landlord, vendors, and suppliers

We are looking for a self-motivated, analytical, and detail-oriented problem solver who is excited about "rolling up their sleeves" in an entrepreneurial and high-growth environment. The role requires someone who can excel as an individual contributor, project leader, and holding company representative to company employees and leaders. Understanding of US GAAP accounting is necessary.
