Job description

Staff Accountant

Location: Fort Collins, CO (on-site)
Salary Range $70,000 – $80,000

About the Opportunity

We are partnering with a growing organization in Fort Collins that is looking to add a Staff Accountant to its accounting team. This is a great opportunity for an accounting professional who enjoys being hands-on, takes pride in accuracy, and wants to continue building their accounting experience within a collaborative team.

The Staff Accountant will have a strong focus on accounts payable, taking ownership of day-to-day AP activities while also supporting month-end close, reconciliations, general ledger accounting, and other accounting functions. This role offers the opportunity to develop beyond transactional accounting and gain broader exposure across the accounting cycle.

If you’re looking for a Staff Accountant opportunity where you can leverage your AP experience while continuing to grow your overall accounting skill set, this could be a great next step.

Benefits include: Health Insurance, Dental, Vision, and 401(k) Match

What You’ll Do

As the Staff Accountant, you will:

• Manage the full accounts payable cycle, including invoice entry, coding, approvals, and payment processing
• Review invoices for accuracy, proper general ledger coding, approvals, and supporting documentation
• Reconcile vendor statements and research and resolve discrepancies
• Maintain accurate vendor records and respond to vendor inquiries
• Process employee expense reports, corporate credit card transactions, and other AP-related activity
• Support month-end close activities, including account reconciliations, accruals, and journal entries
• Prepare and maintain AP reports, schedules, and supporting documentation
• Assist with general ledger accounting and balance sheet reconciliations
• Partner with internal departments to resolve invoice, purchasing, coding, and payment issues
• Maintain strong documentation and support internal accounting controls
• Identify opportunities to improve accounting processes, controls, and efficiencies
• Assist with additional accounting projects and responsibilities as the role continues to grow

What We’re Looking For

The ideal Staff Accountant will bring:

• Bachelor’s degree in Accounting or Finance required
• 2+ years of accounts payable, staff accounting, or related accounting experience
• Hands-on experience with invoice processing, vendor reconciliations, and account reconciliations
• Strong understanding of accounting principles and general ledger activity
• Experience supporting month-end close is preferred
• Advanced Excel skills and strong overall systems aptitude
• Experience working within an accounting or ERP system
• Excellent attention to detail, organization, and accuracy
• Strong communication skills and ability to work effectively across departments
• Ability to manage multiple priorities and consistently meet deadlines

Why This Opportunity Stands Out

• Join a stable, growing organization in Fort Collins
• Take ownership of the accounts payable function while gaining broader accounting exposure
• Work alongside a collaborative and supportive accounting team
• Build experience with month-end close, reconciliations, and general ledger accounting
• Opportunity for the Staff Accountant position to expand in scope as you grow with the organization

This is an excellent opportunity for a Staff Accountant who has built a strong foundation in accounts payable and is ready to take the next step toward a more well-rounded accounting role.
