Senior Accountant | Denver Metropolitan area | $85,000–$100,000 + Full Benefits

This is a hands-on, high-visibility Senior Accountant opportunity at a rapidly growing company where your technical accounting skills, cross-functional curiosity, and desire to build something will be put to work in a role with a genuinely high ceiling. You will report directly to the Controller, gain meaningful visibility to executive leadership, and play a key role across the full accounting function — from month-end close and inventory accounting to ERP optimization, acquisition integration, and financial planning support. The accounting team is small and tight-knit by design, meaning everyone collaborates across functions, cross-trains on other roles, and develops a breadth of experience that simply does not exist in larger, more siloed organizations. The company is growing fast, and the right person will grow with it — the Controller has been explicit that this role carries a real long-term path toward stepping into a Controller seat as the function evolves. This is a particularly strong fit for someone with solid industry experience in a manufacturing or inventory-driven environment who is comfortable in a smaller company setting and thrives when given ownership and trust. If you are career-driven, forward-thinking, and genuinely eager to take on bigger responsibilities over time, this is a role worth your serious attention.

Key Responsibilities

• Lead month-end close, maintain the general ledger, and ensure GAAP-compliant financial reporting across the organization.
• Perform balance sheet and inventory reconciliations with a high degree of accuracy and attention to detail.
• Oversee accounts payable and accounts receivable functions, providing direction and review as needed.
• Own inventory and cost accounting — tracking, analyzing, and reporting on cost drivers and variances.
• Support ERP administration and optimization including workflow enhancements and automation initiatives.
• Assist with audit preparation, tax support, and safeguarding the integrity of the company's books and records.
• Support financial planning and analysis including cash flow reporting and ad hoc reporting for management.
• Assist with acquisition integration work as the company continues to grow.
• Provide mentorship and oversight to junior accounting staff as appropriate.

Requirements

• Bachelor's degree in Accounting, Finance, or a related field.
• 4+ years of progressive accounting experience with a demonstrated track record of career advancement.
• Strong knowledge of US GAAP and the ability to apply it independently in a fast-paced environment.
• Proficiency in Excel and comfort with ERP systems — willingness to learn and optimize new platforms is essential.
• Comfortable working in a smaller company setting where wearing multiple hats and working collaboratively across functions is the norm.
• Forward-thinking, career-driven, and genuinely eager to take on increasing responsibility over time.

Preferred

• Inventory and/or manufacturing industry experience — this is a meaningful differentiator given the scope of the role.
• Industry accounting experience preferred over a traditional public accounting background; smaller firm experience with compilation work is also relevant.
• Familiarity with a cloud-based ERP system in a manufacturing or inventory environment.
• Prior involvement in acquisition integration activities.

Why you'll love working here

• A genuine, stated path to Controller — the current Controller has been clear that this role is the pipeline, and the company's growth trajectory makes that timeline real.
• A small, collaborative accounting team where cross-training is the norm — you will develop a breadth of skills that a siloed, large-company role simply cannot provide.
• Broad scope across close, cost accounting, ERP optimization, FP&A support, and M&A integration — far more variety than a typical Senior Accountant position.
• Strong, positive culture with flexibility around scheduling — overtime is modest and predictable, concentrated around close and audit periods.
• 100% employer-paid medical premiums for the employee — a standout benefit that reflects how this company takes care of its people.
• Competitive base salary of $85,000–$100,000 with some flexibility for exceptional candidates, plus three weeks PTO and an excellent overall benefits package.
