Senior Staff Accountant

The Mom Project
Fort Collins, CO Contractor
POSTED ON 3/27/2025
AVAILABLE BEFORE 4/25/2025
Who We Are

We aren’t your grandmother's accounting firm (unless your grandmother was incredibly cool, in which case, maybe). We're a human-centered accounting firm bringing warmth, wit, and clarity to what's traditionally been a cold, intimidating field. We empower entrepreneurs to take control of their financial well-being, reclaim their shoot-from-the-hip confidence, and fulfill their purpose with more energy and peace.

Here, we're building a world where radical responsibility and intentional awareness are cornerstones of existence. We believe financial freedom hinges on radical responsibility, and we're here to make that journey enjoyable, dammit!

The Role

As a Senior Staff Accountant (Independent Contractor), you'll be the friendly face of finance for our entrepreneurial clients. You'll demystify accounting with technical expertise wrapped in relatable communication, initially for 10-20 hours per week with the opportunity to grow into a full-time contractor or employment position as our relationship develops. We're looking for someone who can translate numbers into narratives and spreadsheets into strategies while working closely with our fractional CFO team to deliver comprehensive financial guidance to our clients.

***Located in Colorado and/or Fort Collins, Co. a huge bonus***

What You'll Do

  • Manage a portfolio of client accounts with the precision of a surgeon and the approachability of your favorite barista
  • Prepare financial statements that tell compelling stories, not just display numbers
  • Review and analyze client data to identify opportunities, trends, and potential challenges
  • Work directly with our fractional CFO team to develop and implement strategic financial recommendations for clients
  • Collaborate with our bookkeeping and controller teams to ensure even our most basic services are performed with strategic forethought
  • Educate clients on financial matters in ways that empower rather than overwhelm them
  • Bring context and clarity to financial management so entrepreneurs can reclaim their decision-making confidence
  • Contribute to our growth-oriented, education-focused environment on a flexible schedule that works for both of us

Who You Are

  • You're curious. Like, genuinely interested-in-how-things-work curious. You see challenges as growth opportunities and actively seek new knowledge.
  • You're aware. You take responsibility for your thoughts, feelings, and actions in all interactions and understand how they affect others.
  • You're connective. You listen actively, show genuine interest in others, and believe every human is good at their core.
  • You're technically proficient with 3 years of accounting experience and relevant certifications
  • You're comfortable with ambiguity and excited by the prospect of helping build systems rather than just following them
  • You communicate complex concepts with clarity and sometimes a dash of humor
  • You're detail-oriented without losing sight of the big picture
  • You're excited about working with entrepreneurs who are passionate about making an impact

  • Bookkeeping services that form the foundation of financial clarity

What We Offer

  • Flexible independent contractor arrangement with growth potential
  • Competitive hourly compensation
  • A team that values your growth, awareness, and well-being
  • Collaborative environment where your ideas matter
  • Meaningful work that transforms entrepreneurs' relationship with their finances
  • The chance to help build something special, where both team members and clients are bound by a responsibility to own their actions in service of one another
  • Opportunity to grow with us as we expand our client base and service offerings

Not For You If...

  • You prefer rigid structures and unchanging processes
  • You think accounting should be serious all the time
  • You're looking for a position where you can hide behind spreadsheets instead of connecting with clients
  • You're allergic to growth, change, or having fun at work
  • You believe "it's just numbers" rather than seeing the human stories behind them

Here, we're not just crunching numbers – we're reshaping what it means to take ownership of your work and life. If you're ready to join a team that's bringing color to the traditionally beige world of accounting, we'd love to hear from you!

Apply now to help us move the world forward through meaningful relationships forged in trust and accountability. This independent contractor position offers the perfect blend of flexibility and purpose, with a clear path to growth for the right person.
