A bit about us:

We are a well-established, family-owned commercial general contractor serving the Denver metro. Over the past several years, we have grown quickly while staying deliberately tight-knit, and we intend to keep it that way. Our team values quality work, long-term relationships, and a culture that treats people like family rather than headcount. As we move through a thoughtful succession and growth phase, we are investing in our people, our technology, and our processes, and we are looking for talent that wants to grow with us.

Why join us?
  • Clear path to leadership: you'll be mentored by a Controller who is being groomed for CFO, on a team actively identifying its next generation of leaders
  • Genuine family culture, no nepotism: everyone is treated equally, and leadership shows up for its people (flexibility and accommodation when life happens)
  • Growth story you can ride: revenue has climbed sharply in recent years with more expansion planned, including growth of this department
  • Strong, modern tech stack: Sage 100, Procore, integrated timekeeping, and Power BI dashboards, with leadership investing further in technology
  • Standout benefits: 100% employer-paid health coverage for individual (you pay for dependents), HSA with a match, and a 401(k) with up to a 4% match
  • Real ownership early: you'll own payroll and GL/Month-End


Job Details

The Role
Reporting to the Controller, this hybrid accounting and payroll seat sits on a small, collaborative finance team. You will own full-cycle payroll while building on your general ledger foundation, taking on increasing accounting responsibility over time as the Controller shifts into a review-level role. This is a strong opportunity for an accountant who wants ownership, mentorship, and a clear runway.

What You'll Do
  • Run the full weekly payroll process end to end, including certified payroll, timekeeping review, and payroll tax support
  • Post payroll journal entries and other journal entries
  • Complete bank and balance sheet reconciliations
  • Own fixed assets, ensuring items are tracked and depreciated appropriately
  • Assist with month-end close under the Controller's oversight
  • Support job-cost accounting as needed

What We're Looking For
  • Bachelor's degree in Accounting required
  • 1-3 years of hands-on general ledger experience (debits/credits, month-end close)
  • Solid understanding of how transactions flow through the financials
  • Willingness to own payroll (prior payroll or certified payroll experience is a plus, but we will train the right accountant)
  • Construction or job-cost experience is ideal but not required
  • Comfortable wearing multiple hats in a small, growing environment
