Senior Accountant

Location: On-Site in Denver, CO

A rapidly scaling renewable-energy services company (private-equity backed, ~$600 M in annual revenue and targeting $1 B+ within three years) is relocating its finance hub to Denver. With a brand-new ERP, 20 US operating entities, and an ambitious acquisitions road-map, the team needs a hands-on Senior Accountant who can own the close today and help design a world-class finance function for tomorrow.

Key Responsibilities

• Lead the monthly close for assigned business segments, preparing and posting complex journal entries on a five-day timeline.
• Produce and review balance-sheet reconciliations, investigate variances, and partner with operations to resolve issues quickly.
• Build dashboards and analyses that compare actuals to budget and prior periods, delivering concise insights to leadership.
• Consolidate annual budgets and rolling forecasts across multiple entities; support scenario modeling for new projects and acquisitions.
• Contribute to special projects – ERP data migration, audit readiness, process documentation, and automation of reconciliations.
• Mentor junior accountants to foster a culture of continuous improvement and collaboration.

Required Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in accounting, Finance, or related field.
• 3-5 years progressive accounting experience (public or industry) with multi-entity consolidation exposure.
• Solid command of US GAAP, account reconciliation methods, and variance analysis.
• Advanced Excel skills (pivot tables, lookups, sumifs) and familiarity with modern ERPs (Microsoft Dynamics 365 or similar a plus).
• Comfortable in a dynamic, “all-hands-on-deck” environment that may require 45-50-hour weeks during close.
• Clear communicator who enjoys problem-solving and cross-functional teamwork.

Why You’ll Love It Here

• Direct access to the CFO, Controller, and PE sponsors – high visibility and fast decision cycles.
• Ground-floor opportunity to shape policies, controls, and systems as the organization rebuilds.
• Defined career runway: strong performers can progress to Supervisor or Manager roles as the company surpasses $1 B in revenue.
• Vibrant workplace community featuring regular onsite meals, team-building activities, and managers dedicated to helping staff thrive.

Physical Requirements

• Primarily office-based computer work with occasional lifting of up to 25 lbs and short walks across the facility or project sites.
