Take your next step as a Controller with a highly respected, employee-owned design firm where your impact is visible at the highest levels. Join a stable, purpose-driven organization and lead accounting for globally recognized projects.

Why This Opportunity Stands Out:

• Step into a high-impact Controller role replacing a long-tenured leader, giving you immediate visibility and influence

• Partner directly with the CFO, executive leadership, and Board—your voice will shape key decisions

• Join an employee-owned (ESOP) firm with strong financial performance and exceptional retention

• Enjoy stability and long-term growth within a respected AEC organization headquartered in Denver

• Lead accounting for innovative, global projects focused on sustainability and community impact

• Own and enhance systems, reporting, and processes as the Controller across a multi-office environment

• Gain exposure to ESOP administration, audits, and corporate finance initiatives

• Mentor and develop a strong, established accounting team while driving operational excellence

Key Responsibilities for the Controller:

• Lead month-end close, financial reporting, and GAAP-compliant financial statements

• Oversee budgeting, forecasting, audits, tax coordination, and internal controls

• Manage project accounting including WIP, revenue recognition, and profitability analysis

• Serve as system owner for Deltek Vantagepoint and drive process improvements

• Partner with operations on utilization, backlog, and financial performance insights

Qualifications for the Controller:

• Bachelor’s degree in Accounting or Finance; CPA preferred

• 10+ years of progressive accounting/finance experience with leadership responsibility

• Prior Controller, Assistant Controller, or Accounting Manager experience

• Strong expertise in GAAP, financial reporting, and audit leadership
