Accountant - Hybrid Denver Metro

HCL Engineering & Surveying LLC, headquartered in Centennial, Colorado, has been serving the Colorado Front Range and Western Slope since 1999. We are a multi-disciplinary firm providing civil and structural engineering, land surveying, subsurface utility engineering (SUE), and architectural services for public and private sector clients.

We’re known for technical excellence, practical solutions, and a collaborative approach that keeps projects moving forward. Just as important? We believe great work happens when talented people enjoy what they do. Our culture values integrity, teamwork, innovation — and yes, having some fun along the way. We’re proud of our diverse project portfolio and steady growth, and we’re looking for a detail-oriented accounting professional who wants to do meaningful work, take real ownership, and be part of a team that genuinely enjoys working together.

Our Values: Innovation, integrity, and FUN

As the newest member of our close-knit team, you'll own the full cycle of day-to-day accounting - from AP processing through month-end close - working autonomously and taking full ownership of your work. You understand accrual-based accounting inside and out, take pride in keeping the books clean and current. With 4+ years of accounting experience, preferably with an AEC firm, you bring a proactive mindset to everything from GL reconciliations to audit support. If you're looking for a role where your work genuinely matters and your attention to detail makes a measurable impact, let's talk!

Your Values: Integrity, Ownership, and Precision

Here’s some of what needs to be done:

• Taking full ownership of the day-to-day accounting function, keeping financials accurate, complete, and up to date at all times
• Recording daily transactions and preparing journal entries, including accruals, prepaids, and depreciation

• Processing AP/AR and approving vendor invoice payments within established terms

• Preparing 1099s, compliance reports, and supporting documentation for internal and external audits
• Supporting budget preparation, cash flow forecasting, and financial reporting for leadership
• Identifying opportunities to improve accounting processes and implementing best practices in a lean team environment

And what it’ll take to get it done:

• A bachelor's degree in accounting and 4+ years of experience with strong general ledger ownership preferably in architecture, engineering, or construction (AEC)
• Solid command of accrual-based accounting, GAAP, and financial reporting standards
• Proven experience with month-end close, including journal entries, accruals, prepaids, and depreciation
• Demonstrated ability to reconcile balance sheet accounts and manage GL independently

• High attention to detail with the ability to spot discrepancies and resolve them quickly
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills; you work well across teams and with leadership
• Proactive problem-solver with a desire to keep learning, improving, and strengthening the firm around you 

Our team members enjoy:
