Job description

What You’ll Do

• Build and maintain formula-driven workpapers and financial models that tie directly to source data with full audit traceability.
• Support cash-to-GAAP conversions, including revenue recognition (ASC 606), leases (ASC 842), and percentage-of-completion / work-in-progress (WIP) schedules.
• Prepare and reconcile schedules for external auditor and reviewer requests — trial balance walks, tie-outs, reconciliations, and technical accounting memos.
• Assist with ESOP transaction workstreams, including data room preparation, valuation support schedules, and normalizing adjustments.
• Research and document technical accounting positions in audit-ready memo form.
• Proactively identify discrepancies and reconciling items, and drive them to resolution.
• Help transition clients from project-based engagements into sustained, recurring accounting support — standing up month-end close processes, reconciliation cadences, and reporting packages that hold up well after the transaction closes.
• Serve as a point of continuity for clients post-close, supporting ongoing ESOP-related needs such as annual valuation updates, repurchase obligation data, and year-end audit readiness.
• Document processes and hand off clean, repeatable workflows so recurring monthly work is efficient, consistent, and scalable across the team.

Who You Are

• Driven and ambitious. You take ownership, push work across the finish line, and want to grow into greater responsibility.
• A quick learner. You ramp fast on new standards, systems, and client situations.
• Adaptable and resourceful. You use every tool available — AI, research, your network, and first-principles thinking — to solve problems without waiting to be handed the answer.
• Disciplined about accuracy. Everything ties, and every number traces to a source.
• Relationship-minded. You build trust with client teams and enjoy seeing them through from the big event to a well-run steady state.

Required

• 2+ years of public accounting audit experience.
• 3+ years of industry accounting experience.
• Strong working knowledge of US GAAP.
• Advanced Excel — pivot tables, INDEX/MATCH, and the ability to read, follow, and troubleshoot existing formulas rather than hardcoding values.
• Demonstrated workpaper discipline and attention to detail.
• Based in the Denver metro area and able to work a hybrid schedule.

Preferred

• CPA (active) or active CPA candidate.
• Transaction experience — M&A, ESOP, purchase accounting, or diligence / data room support.
• Hands-on exposure to ASC 606 and ASC 842.
• Project-based industry background (A&E, construction, engineering) and familiarity with QuickBooks or a comparable accounting system.

Compensation & Logistics

• $90,000–$110,000 salary, commensurate with experience and credentials.
• 401k (3.5% match)
• Healthcare (100% covered), Dental & Vision (75% covered)
• Hybrid schedule based in Denver, CO.
• 401(k)
• 401(k) matching
