Senior Accountant (Path to Accounting Manager)
Salary: $100,000 – $125,000
Location: Aurora, CO (Hybrid)
We are partnering with a growing, mission-driven organization in the Denver metro area that is adding a Senior Accountant to its team. This is a high-impact Senior Accountant role designed for someone who wants more than just month-end close—you’ll gain exposure to leadership, take ownership of key financial processes, and play a meaningful role in scaling the accounting function.
This Senior Accountant position is ideal for someone looking for a clear path into Accounting Manager and eventually Controller, with the opportunity to build both technical expertise and leadership skills along the way.
What You’ll Be Doing as a Senior Accountant
- Take ownership of the monthly and quarterly close process, ensuring accuracy and timeliness
- Prepare and review journal entries, account reconciliations, and variance analysis
- Produce and analyze financial statements in accordance with GAAP
- Support and help drive revenue recognition (ASC 606) in a project-based, contract-driven environment
- Partner with operations to align project-level financials, including revenue and cost tracking
- Collaborate cross-functionally to improve cost allocation, reporting, and financial visibility
- Assist with audit preparation, including schedules, support, and technical accounting documentation
- Identify and implement process improvements, internal controls, and system enhancements
- Mentor junior staff and begin developing leadership and review responsibilities
- Contribute to ongoing improvements in ERP systems and reporting tools
What We’re Looking For in Senior Accountant
- Bachelor’s degree in Accounting or Finance
- 5+ years of progressive accounting experience
- Experience in a Senior Accountant capacity or prior leadership exposure
- Strong understanding of GAAP and technical accounting concepts
- Experience supporting audits and working with external auditors
- Experience in a multi-entity or project-based environment
Why This Senior Accountant Role Stands Out
This is more than a typical Senior Accountant role. You’ll gain direct exposure to leadership, work in a dynamic and evolving environment, and have a clear runway for advancement into Accounting Manager and Controller-level responsibilities.
- Hybrid flexibility in the Denver metro area
- High visibility with executive leadership
- Opportunity to influence processes in a growing organization
- Defined path for career progression
If you’re looking for a role where you can sharpen your technical skills while stepping into leadership, this is a strong next move.
