Controller

Salary: $140,000–$170,000
Location: Denver, CO | On-site 4 Days per Week
Schedule: Full-Time

Ready to move beyond traditional accounting leadership and have a true seat at the table? This Controller opportunity offers direct partnership with the President, ownership of the accounting function, and the ability to influence financial strategy, profitability, and operational decision-making across a growing organization.

This is an ideal opportunity for an experienced accounting leader who enjoys staying close to the numbers while also thinking strategically about the business.

Why This Opportunity Stands Out

• Earn a competitive $140,000–$160,000 base salary

• Partner directly with the President, giving the Controller significant visibility and influence on business decisions

• Take ownership of accounting while gaining broader exposure to HR and administrative operations

• Lead, mentor, and develop an accounting team while creating stronger processes and accountability

• Play an integral role in budgeting, forecasting, profitability analysis, and long-term business planning

• Move beyond reporting historical results and help leadership understand the financial drivers behind business performance

• Identify opportunities to modernize systems, improve workflows, and introduce automation across the finance function

• Gain broad exposure to operations and develop a deep understanding of how projects impact overall profitability

• Lead audit processes, strengthen internal controls, and ensure accurate and timely financial reporting

• Enjoy a stable environment with a consistent schedule and a leadership team that values true work-life balance

• Step into a hands-on Controller position where you can make meaningful improvements rather than simply maintain existing processes

Key Responsibilities

As the Controller, you will oversee day-to-day accounting operations while serving as a key financial partner to executive leadership.

• Lead the monthly close process and ensure timely, accurate financial reporting

• Oversee accounting operations including accounts payable, accounts receivable, payroll, general ledger, and job costing

• Prepare and analyze financial statements, identifying trends, risks, and opportunities for leadership

• Partner with the President and other leaders on annual budgets, forecasts, and strategic business planning

• Monitor project profitability, job costs, margins, and percentage-of-completion accounting

• Develop financial reporting and analysis that supports stronger operational decision-making

• Manage, mentor, and develop accounting team members while establishing clear expectations and accountability

• Evaluate existing accounting processes and implement improvements, efficiencies, and automation

• Maintain and strengthen internal controls, accounting policies, and procedures

• Coordinate external audits and serve as the primary accounting contact throughout the audit process

• Help the Controller function evolve alongside the organization as the business continues to grow

Qualifications

The ideal Controller will bring:

• Bachelor's degree in Accounting, Finance, or a related field

• 7–10+ years of progressive accounting experience

• Previous accounting leadership or management experience

• Strong understanding of GAAP and financial reporting

• Experience with job costing and percentage-of-completion accounting

• Experience leading month-end close, budgeting, forecasting, and financial analysis

• Strong understanding of internal controls and audit processes

• Ability to manage and develop an accounting team

• Comfortable operating in a hands-on environment and moving between detailed accounting work and higher-level strategy

• Strong communication skills with the ability to effectively partner with executive and operational leadership

Who Will Thrive in This Role?

This opportunity is ideal for a Controller who wants more than ownership of the close and financial statements. You'll thrive here if you enjoy understanding the operational side of a business, identifying opportunities to improve profitability, developing your team, and serving as a trusted financial resource to leadership.

If you're looking for executive-level visibility, meaningful influence, and the opportunity to help shape the finance function of a growing organization, this Controller position offers the chance to make a lasting impact.
