About the Role
As Evergreen Services Group continues to grow through acquisition, we are seeking a Technical Accounting Manager to oversee the acquisition accounting and integration onboarding process for every deal. This role sits at the intersection of deep technical GAAP expertise and program leadership, ensuring every acquisition is accounted for correctly from day one and seamlessly integrated into our accounting and reporting functions.
You will partner closely with the Assistant Controller, Grove accounting teams, advisory and valuation partners, and external auditors as the primary technical resource for the broader Finance & Accounting (F&A) organization.
Key Responsibilities
M&A Onboarding & ASC 805 Purchase Accounting
- Lead the review of ASC 805 opening balance sheets and purchase price allocations for all acquisitions
- Coordinate with third-party valuation providers and review their fair value analyses for reasonableness and consistency with GAAP
- Own and continuously improve the onboarding program for newly acquired operating companies, including the playbook, timeline, and standard deliverables used across every transaction
- Serve as the technical accounting lead throughout the acquisition lifecycle—from diligence support through close and post-close reporting
- Build repeatable frameworks and templates that scale as deal volume increases
Technical Accounting & Complex Matters
- Draft and own technical accounting memos covering complex, judgment-heavy areas, including ASC 805, and:
- Carve-out and push-down accounting for necessary standalone financials
- Complex revenue recognition under ASC 606, including new revenue streams, new industries, and multi-currency/foreign operations as the portfolio expands internationally
- Goodwill, reporting unit determination, and going concern assessments
- PCC (Private Company Council) election evaluations and unwinds
- Support the external audit process on all M&A-related technical positions
- Serve as the go-to technical resource for Grove accounting teams on GAAP questions arising from acquisitions
What We're Looking For
- An owner who rolls up their sleeves; this is a hands-on technical role, not purely oversight
- A leader who influences without direct authority—this role has no direct reports today, but you’ll set the technical agenda for every deal, direct cross-functional teams through each onboarding cycle, and mentor accounting team members across the portfolio on complex GAAP matters
- Thrives in ambiguity—comfortable building process in a fast-paced, high-deal-volume environment
- Translates complex accounting into language non-accounting stakeholders can act on, while demonstrating strong executive presence with auditors and leadership
Qualifications
Required Experience
- 7+ years of progressive accounting experience, with a background in public accounting (Big 4 or mid-size firm preferred), consulting, and/or industry
- Extensive experience preparing and reviewing ASC 805 materials, and comfort navigating other complex technical matters (ASC 606, 350, 810, 718)
Preferred Qualifications
- Prior experience in a PE-backed, multi-entity, or high-acquisition-volume environment is a plus
- CPA required
- Experience with Business Central, OneStream, Power BI, and/or FloQast is a plus
