Vp Controller Jobs in Highlands Ranch, CO (NOW HIRING)

VP of Accounting / Controller

Build the Accounting Function Behind the Next Stage of Growth

We’re partnering exclusively with a rapidly growing, venture-backed consumer company that has experienced significant expansion over the last several years and is entering an exciting new stage of growth.

The company is profitable, highly technology and AI forward, and building the infrastructure needed to support its next chapter. We’re looking for a VP of Accounting who wants more than a traditional Controller seat. This person will work directly with the CFO, lead the accounting organization, and have the opportunity to put their fingerprints on the systems, processes, controls, and team supporting the business as it scales.

And yes…the office is pretty incredible too.

Why You Should Apply

• Get in while the company is taking off. This is an opportunity to join a growing organization while there is still significant opportunity to build and influence how the finance function operates.
• Meaningful equity. Beyond a strong base and bonus package, this position includes significant equity participation and the opportunity to share in the company’s future growth.
• Direct CFO exposure. You’ll work closely with the CFO and executive leadership rather than operating several layers removed from decision making.
• Build, don’t maintain. Help evolve the accounting infrastructure, strengthen processes, leverage automation and technology, and create scalability for continued growth.
• Complexity that keeps things interesting. Multiple entities, multiple states, multiple brands, retail and ecommerce operations, seasonal working capital, and continued expansion.
• Technology-forward environment. This organization is embracing AI, automation, and new technology rather than relying on “the way we’ve always done it.”

What You’ll Own

• Own the accounting function across a growing multi entity and multi state organization
• Lead month end close, consolidated financial reporting, general ledger, reconciliations, and operational accounting
• Lead and develop an accounting team while overseeing outsourced accounting resources
• Strengthen internal controls, accounting policies, processes, and reporting infrastructure
• Manage cash flow and working capital needs within a seasonal consumer and retail environment
• Partner with the CFO on capital management, forecasting, strategic initiatives, and executive reporting
• Support the accounting integration of acquired businesses and evolving organizational structures
• Improve systems and processes through automation, AI, and scalable technology
• Partner cross functionally with operations, retail, ecommerce, and executive leadership
• Coordinate external audit, tax, and other financial reporting requirements

What We’re Looking For

• Bachelor’s degree in Accounting, Finance, or related field required
• Master’s degree preferred
• CPA strongly preferred
• Progressive accounting leadership experience at the Controller, Corporate Controller, VP of Accounting, or similar level
• Strong technical accounting knowledge and command of US GAAP
• Experience leading accounting within a complex, multi entity organization
• Experience with both public and private company environments is a major plus
• Public accounting experience is a plus
• Background within retail, ecommerce, consumer products, technology, or manufacturing strongly preferred
• Experience supporting a high growth or acquisition driven organization highly valued
• Strong understanding of cash flow, working capital, and capital management
• Experience building and developing accounting teams
• NetSuite or comparable ERP experience preferred
• Comfortable operating in an entrepreneurial environment where you can think strategically while still getting into the details

What You Need To Know

Location: Denver, CO

Schedule: Fully onsite

Compensation: $200k - $240k Base Package

Bonus: Up to 15%

Equity: Meaningful equity opportunity with substantial long term value potential

Employment Type: Full time, permanent

The Opportunity: Join during a major stage of growth and help build the accounting organization that will support where this company is going next.

If you’re an accounting leader who loves the idea of getting in on the ground floor of the next chapter, building something meaningful, and having a real seat at the table, I’d love to connect.
