Senior Accountant (Contract/Contract to Hire)

Senior Accountant (Contract/Contract to Hire)

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

35 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).

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)
