About The Position

Energy Talent Search is working with a growing tech/manufacturing company in the South Denver area that’s continuing to build out its finance function. They’re looking for someone who can take ownership of external reporting and step into the more complex side of accounting. This is a visible role where you’re working directly with leadership and auditors, not buried in a back-office function.

Preparing and reviewing disclosures tied to financial statements
Understanding how reporting ties back to U.S. GAAP and audit requirements
Managing timelines and deliverables tied to external reporting cycles
Candidates coming strictly from private company accounting or internal industry roles WITHOUT ANY direct SEC exposure will not be a fit.
CPA required
Background in public accounting (Big 4 or similar strongly preferred)
Direct SEC reporting experience is required
Strong understanding of U.S. GAAP in a public company environment
Experience working through technical accounting issues—not just standard close/reporting
Ability to communicate clearly with leadership and auditors
