What are the responsibilities and job description for the M&A Accounting Manager position at SkyWater Search Partners?

  • Job Tag:
  • Posted: November 19,2025
  • Salary: $130,000

We’ve been engaged by a dynamic construction organization with a top-tier finance and accounting team to identify a newly added accounting manager – but this isn’t your typical accounting manager role. This person will be a “corporate mercenary” involved in operational accounting, M&A integrations, FP&A and operational cross-functional work, and special projects focused on value creation/process improvement.

The organization is growing quickly both organically and through acquisitions and there is tons of interesting work to be done. This is a fantastic role to build leadership skillsets, take ownership over significant parts of the business, and see/do a variety of things in a short amount of time. The role reports to a Controller we’ve known for years who is a high-EQ leader with a track record of developing talent, and also has a Big 4 & top-tier consulting background.

Ideal candidates have 5 years of exeprience, ideally a Big 4 accounting foundation, and experience with M&A integration and complex accounting issues. CPA preferred.

Salary : $130,000
