Accounting Specialist
Meyers Heating & Air Conditioning – Boulder, CO
Full-Time | Non-Exempt | $25–$28/hour, DOE
In-Office with Potential for One Remote Day Per Week
About the Role
Meyers Heating & Air Conditioning is looking for a sharp, dependable and detail-oriented Accounting Specialist to join our Boulder team.
This isn't a position where we're simply looking for someone to enter invoices and check tasks off a list. We need someone who likes figuring things out, notices when something doesn't look right and takes the initiative to follow it through to resolution.
You'll work closely with our accounting and operations teams to keep invoices, purchase orders, payroll information, work orders and financial records accurate and moving on schedule.
The right person may already have a couple years of accounting experience, or they may be earlier in their career and simply have the aptitude, drive and attention to detail to learn quickly. Either way, we're looking for someone who takes ownership of their work.
What You'll Do
- Process accounts payable, including reviewing, coding and entering vendor invoices.
- Match purchase orders to vendor invoices and investigate discrepancies.
- Maintain accurate vendor records and supporting documentation.
- Process weekly payroll by gathering, reviewing and entering payroll data accurately and on time.
- Initiate and submit documentation for Installation rebates
- Assist with registering equipment and extended warranties
- Coordinate and monitor vendor credits for warranties
- Review and reconcile completed work orders to ensure information, costs, purchase orders and documentation are accurate.
- Reconcile accounting records, reports and supporting files as assigned.
- Review invoices and transactions for accuracy, duplicate charges, missing information or unusual discrepancies.
- Maintain organized accounting records and spreadsheets.
- Communicate with vendors and internal team members to obtain missing information and resolve discrepancies.
- Pick up the phone when necessary. If something doesn't add up, we expect you to find the person who can answer the question rather than simply letting it sit.
- Assist the accounting team with month-end close and other recurring deadlines.
- Support additional accounting and administrative projects as needed.
What We're Looking For
We're less concerned about finding someone who checks every traditional accounting box and more interested in finding someone with the right combination of accuracy, initiative and follow-through.
You may be a great fit if you:
- Have experience with accounts payable, bookkeeping or accounting support.
- Are comfortable working in QuickBooks.
- Are proficient with Excel and genuinely enjoy working with spreadsheets and data.
- Have strong data-entry skills and exceptional attention to detail.
- Can work independently and manage recurring deadlines without constant reminders.
- Notice discrepancies and are willing to investigate them.
- Aren't afraid to ask questions, make a phone call or follow up multiple times when something needs to be resolved.
- Understand the difference between identifying a problem and actually owning it through resolution.
- Can prioritize your workload so deadlines don't become last-minute emergencies.
- Are comfortable working with confidential payroll and financial information.
- Learn new software, processes and systems quickly.
Experience processing or supporting payroll is strongly preferred.
Experience in a service, construction, trades or job-costing environment is a plus, but not required.
How We Work
Accounting has deadlines. Month-end isn't a surprise, it happens every month.
We believe the best way to make those deadlines manageable is to keep the work accurate and current throughout the month. We're looking for someone who naturally works that way: staying organized, following up on outstanding items and completing work as it comes in rather than allowing it to pile up.
You'll have support from an experienced team, but you'll also be trusted to take ownership of your responsibilities.
Schedule & Compensation
Monday - Friday 8:00 a.m. - 4:30 p.m., this is a full-time, hourly, non-exempt position based in our Boulder office.
Pay: $25–$28/hour, depending on experience and qualifications.
Benefits: Medical, dental, vision, short term disability, long term disability, life, 401k with 4% company match
Time Off: 2-3 weeks paid vacations and 6 paid holidays
This position will initially work in-office while learning our systems, team and processes. After training and demonstrated proficiency, there may be an opportunity to work remotely one day per week.
About Meyers Heating & Air Conditioning
Meyers Heating & Air Conditioning has been serving Colorado homeowners for more than 60 years. Today, our team serves both Boulder and Colorado Springs while remaining locally owned and focused on providing exceptional service to our clients.
As we've grown, so has the need for strong people behind the scenes who keep our operation accurate, organized and moving forward.
If you're someone who takes pride in getting the details right, enjoys solving problems and doesn't like leaving loose ends, we'd love to hear from you.
Generations of Comfort, Since 1963.

Accounting Specialist Jobs in Colorado: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a accounting specialist in Colorado?
Accounting specialists in Colorado typically enter the field with an associate or bachelor's degree in accounting or finance from an in-state institution such as the University of Colorado, Colorado State University, or a community college in the Colorado Community College System. While no state-issued license is required for most accounting specialist roles, earning a Certified Bookkeeper credential or completing CPA examination credit hours through the Colorado State Board of Accountancy strengthens your candidacy considerably with Colorado employers.
Which companies hire accounting specialists in Colorado?
Employers hiring accounting specialists in Colorado right now include Viaero Wireless, Envida, and Cologix, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of September 2026. Colorado's mix of large defense contractors, healthcare systems, utilities, and state government agencies means consistent year-round demand for accounting specialists across a range of industries.
Which Colorado cities have the most accounting specialist jobs?
Boulder, Denver, and Fort Morgan have the most accounting specialist openings in Colorado. Denver drives the largest share of demand as the state's commercial and government hub, while Colorado Springs benefits from its dense concentration of military installations and defense contractors, and Boulder's technology and bioscience employers generate steady accounting specialist needs.
Are there remote accounting specialist jobs in Colorado?
Yes, and more than many comparable roles, since accounting specialist work is largely desk-based and document-driven. About 50% of accounting specialist openings tied to Colorado are remote or hybrid as of September 2026, reflecting how well-suited the role is to distributed work. Accounts payable processing, invoice reconciliation, and financial reporting functions are the tasks most commonly performed fully remotely by Colorado employers.
How can I get hired as a accounting specialist in Colorado with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry point is an accounts payable or accounts receivable clerk role, which large Colorado employers such as UCHealth, the State of Colorado's Office of the Controller, and Denver-area property management firms regularly post as entry-level positions. Adjacent roles in payroll administration or billing that share core spreadsheet and reconciliation skills are effective lateral moves. Completing an accounting certificate through the Colorado Community College System and gaining proficiency in QuickBooks or Excel gives candidates a measurable edge when competing without a full degree or prior accounting title.
Where can I find and apply to accounting specialist jobs in Colorado?
You can find and apply to accounting specialist jobs in Colorado on Migrate Mate, which lists current openings across the state. Search for roles that match your experience level and specialization, then apply directly to the ones that fit.
