Staff Accountant

About Torch Clean Energy

Torch Clean Energy is a leading renewable energy developer focused on accelerating the transition to a clean energy future. We specialize in the development, financing, construction and operation of utility-scale solar, wind, and energy storage projects across the United States. At Torch, we believe our mission-driven culture, strong relationships, and nimble execution are key to our success. In January of 2025 Torch entered into a joint venture partnership with Morgan Stanley Infrastructure Partners to develop, construct and operate our existing pipeline of projects and to acquire additional assets.

About the Role

Torch Clean Energy is seeking a detail-oriented Staff Accountant to support the company's growing accounting and finance operations. This is a hybrid role based in Boulder, CO, reporting to the Accounting Manager with regular collaboration across the finance team.

Torch is a small team that values members who are comfortable and excited to build and take on new challenges. Our accounting function is scaling to match the pace of our growth. We are transitioning from QuickBooks to Sage Intacct, and the Staff Accountant will support building the internal infrastructure to support a maturing capital structure. This person will be embedded in the day-to-day operations of a five-person finance team, taking ownership of AP processes and playing an active role in our ERP transition. This is not a bookkeeping role. We are looking for a technically grounded accountant who understands multi-entity corporate structures and can operate with the rigor that institutional finance demands.

Why Join

Torch offers early-career accountants real exposure to multi-entity corporate finance, ERP implementation, and the operational complexity of a capital-intensive business. As a foundational hire on a growing team, you will have direct visibility into how a finance function gets built, from systems and process to reporting and institutional compliance.

What You’ll Do

• Take ownership of accounts payable, including vendor, AP and employee expense reimbursement processes (Bill.com, Sage Intacct AP)
• Manage general ledger accounting, bank reconciliations, and inter-company transactions across multiple legal entities
• Support monthly, quarterly, and annual close processes with accuracy and consistency
• Maintain fixed asset schedules and depreciation tracking
• Assist with financial statement preparation and reporting

Preferred

• Proficiency in Sage Intacct or NetSuite, with Sage Intacct experience highly preferred
• Experience with Bill.com or comparable expense management platforms
• Exposure to project-based accounting or capital-intensive industries (energy, construction, infrastructure)

Core Competencies

• High attention to detail with a low tolerance for error
• Ability to manage competing deadlines in a fast-moving environment
• Clear written and verbal communication across finance and non-finance stakeholders
• Organized and self-directed with strong documentation habits
• Collaborative team player who can also work independently

Why Join Torch Clean Energy?

• Opportunity to play a key role in the growth of a well-capitalized and expanding clean energy company.
• Chance to work on significant, impactful utility-scale renewable energy projects.
