Ready to helm the ultimate accounting adventure?
We’re searching for our next superhero—a CPA extraordinaire who dreams in spreadsheets, thrives on building extraordinary teams, and is fluent in construction industry lingo (CCIFP anyone?). Bonus points if you laugh at “depreciation jokes” and think gamifying your work sounds like a blast. You should be based in, or willing to relocate to, the beautiful high desert of Albuquerque, New Mexico.
Oh, and did we mention you’ll play a critical role in a transformative acquisition? That’s right, you’ll get to lead the charge as we merge greatness into something even greater (expected timeline: January 31–February 15, 2025).

Create gamified incentives like “merit badges” for team skill development—because why not make work fun?
