Opportunity Overview

Southeast Acquisition Capital is a financial sponsor that acquires high-potential businesses and transitions them to Employee Ownership.

Employee Ownership is core to Southeast’s value creation, risk management, and impact strategy. In addition to pursuing organic growth and strategic acquisitions, Southeast creates value at portfolio companies through implementing a culture of ownership based on transparency, accountability, and shared prosperity.

Through its commitment to Employee Ownership, Southeast’s acquisitions create opportunities for all employees to build long-term wealth by earning an ownership stake in their company. Every employee receives share grants equal to approximately 10-15% of their base salary. These share grants do not cost the employees anything, are not in lieu of regular compensation, and can increase in value over time in the employee’s tax-deferred ESOP account.

Southeast has partnered with an exceptional CEO to lead the acquisition of an Atlanta-based platform company in the Architecture, Engineering, & Design sector. This opportunity is for an experienced Senior Accountant to join a dynamic employee-owned company with a strong culture, a growth orientation, and significant long-term upside through ESOP participation.
