Senior Accountant (Contract/Contract to Hire) About the Company Our client is a fast-growing, multi-brand e-commerce company, operating a family of direct-to-consumer brands alongside a services business. The company is investing heavily in technology, including AI, and is at an exciting inflection point in its growth. This is a great opportunity to join a high-growth organization and help build a scalable accounting function. Culture The team values energy and grit, a bias toward action, ownership and accountability, and a collaborative, low-ego approach. They work hard, move fast, and keep perspective. About the Role We're looking for a hands-on Senior Accountant to own the month-end close across a family of companies and keep the books clean as the business grows. You'll run the close for multiple entities, keep everything GAAP-compliant, and be the go-to for reconciliations, tax remittance, and audit support. Great looks like a close that's on time, accurate, and a little faster every month. What You'll Own • Run the month-end close for multiple entities, including preparing and recording journal entries, accruals, and account reconciliations. • Maintain and balance general ledger and subsidiary accounts by verifying, allocating, posting, and reconciling transactions and resolving discrepancies. • Prepare monthly financial statements and supporting schedules, including budget-to-actual reports and variance analysis. • Apply revenue recognition under ASC 606 and support gross profit analysis. • Ensure timely remittance of sales and use, federal and state, and franchise taxes. • Keep all accounting work compliant with GAAP, company policies, and other regulatory requirements. • Manage the company expense system and make sure reimbursements go out on time. • Support the planning, coordination, and execution of the annual audit. • Partner with finance leadership on reporting needs, special projects, and ad hoc requests. What You'll Drive • Investigate and resolve accounting issues, and recommend controls that keep them from coming back. • Spot inefficiencies in current practices, recommend process improvements, and help implement them. • Help build tools and processes that make the monthly financial statement review faster and more accurate. • Provide quantitative analysis that helps leadership make strategic decisions. What We're Looking For • 3–5 years of progressive accounting experience, including month-end close, GAAP financial reporting, and sales tax compliance; public accounting experience strongly preferred. • Bachelor's degree in Accounting, Finance, or a related field, plus strong Excel and NetSuite skills. • Exceptional attention to detail and strong critical thinking, with the ability to communicate clearly with leadership and cross-functional partners. • A proactive approach to ambiguous problems: figuring out what's broken and acting on it rather than waiting to be told what's next. • Speed, real ownership of outcomes, and a high personal bar. • Strong collaboration across teams with a low-ego, no-drama approach. • Bonus: experience in startup or high-growth environments, or an active CPA. • Curiosity about AI-assisted tools and eagerness to adopt them (openness matters more than existing expertise). The Details • Employment type: Contract, opportunity to convert to permanent if it's a good fit! • Location: On-site, Denver, CO • Compensation: $60-70/hour, based on experience (1099)
