Accounting Operations Specialist & Senior Bookkeeper in Denver, Colorado at The Turn Company

The Turn Company is a project management and field services company serving the student housing, multifamily, and hospitality industries nationwide. We manage large-scale operational projects that require organization, speed, accountability, and calm execution under pressure.

Over the past three years, we’ve built the company with outsourced accounting support, strong operational systems, and disciplined project execution. Now, we’re hiring our first dedicated in-house accounting operations professional to help bring greater financial visibility, operational discipline, and scalable accounting infrastructure to the business.

This is not a traditional transactional bookkeeping role.

We’re looking for someone who wants to own the day-to-day accounting operations of a growing company, create structure in a fast-moving environment, and become a critical operational partner to leadership. This role works closely with company leadership and will have direct visibility into operational decision-making, financial workflows, and company growth initiatives.

You’ll collaborate closely with our Project Management, Operations, and Leadership teams while serving as the internal bridge to our external CPA firm, which continues to oversee tax, compliance, year-end review, and higher-level accounting strategy.

If you enjoy operational problem-solving, clean reconciliations, organized financial workflows, and building systems that help companies scale, this role was designed for you.

About the Role

Position Overview
