Technical Accounting Manager; SEC Reporting

Denver, United States | Posted on 04/22/2026

Energy Talent Search is working with a growing tech company in the 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.

• Leading the company’s external reporting process across reporting cycles
• Preparing financial statements and disclosures that are clean, accurate, and audit-ready
• Acting as the internal resource on technical accounting matters as they arise
• Working directly with external auditors and helping drive timelines
• Supporting key business activity (equity, transactions, and other non-routine items)
• Interpreting new accounting guidance and applying what’s relevant
• Improving reporting processes and tightening overall structure

This role requires hands-on experience with public company reporting
—not just exposure.

You should be comfortable:

• Owning or heavily contributing to quarterly and annual filings
• Working directly within the reporting process, not just supporting from the side
• 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 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
• Someone who can operate independently and take ownership

• Mix of recurring reporting cycles and more complex, project-driven accounting work
• High visibility with leadership and external auditors
• Fast-moving environment with ongoing growth and change
• Expectation to think through issues—not just execute

• True ownership of reporting and technical accounting
• Exposure to more complex accounting areas early
• Smaller team environment where your work is visible
• Strong move out of public accounting into something more dynamic

• Bachelor’s degree in Accounting or Finance required (advanced degree is a plus)
• Typically targeting someone in the ~5–8 year range
• Public accounting background is key

• Denver-based candidates only
• Full benefits package included

• $140K – $150K base
