Reporting directly to the CEO, you will be responsible for all day-to-day accounting, payroll, and light HR compliance. This is a critical role that requires a high level of accuracy, stability, and a deep understanding of construction accounting principles.

• Prepare monthly, quarterly, and annual financial statements and provide reports to the CEO.
• Manage vendor relationships, process invoices, and perform regular account reconciliations.
• Partner with the CEO to improve accounting controls, procedures, and systems.
• Assist with a future migration from QuickBooks Desktop to a cloud-based accounting solution.

• Technical Skills: Proficiency in QuickBooks Desktop is mandatory. Experience with payroll processing, AP/AR, and reconciliations is required.
• Education: An Associate's and/or Bachelor's degree in Accounting is preferred. However, we will strongly consider candidates with extensive, proven industry experience in lieu of a formal degree.
• Location: Must be able to work on-site in Aurora, CO, five days a week.

The Ideal Candidate

• Is highly detail-oriented and organized, capable of managing deadlines with minimal supervision.
• Possesses strong integrity and professionalism in handling confidential financial information.
• Is not easily overwhelmed and is looking for a stable, long-term role where they can truly take ownership.
• Communicates clearly and can work effectively with company leadership, project managers, and vendors.
