The Fixed Asset Accountant will own the integrity, visibility, and control processes for the company's fixed assets across locations in Colorado, California, and the Washington, DC area.
You will sit at the intersection of Finance, Operations, Facilities, Procurement, IT, Engineering, and Manufacturing, ensuring that capital investments and trackable assets are accurately recorded, properly tracked, and reported throughout their lifecycle. This role is critical to building scalable fixed asset accounting and asset-tracking processes that support True Anomaly's growth and operational complexity.
Key responsibilities include:
- Maintain accurate and complete fixed asset records for all locations, including property, buildings, leasehold improvements, machinery, equipment, furniture, vehicles, and technology assets
- Record and monitor fixed asset additions, transfers, disposals, retirements, impairments, and write-offs in accordance with company policies and U.S. GAAP
- Review capital expenditures and supporting documentation to determine capitalization vs. expensing
- Establish and maintain asset records with identification numbers, locations, departments, custodians, acquisition dates, costs, useful lives, and depreciation methods
- Calculate, record, and reconcile monthly depreciation and amortization expense
- Monitor construction-in-progress and capital projects, including timely transfer of completed projects to appropriate asset categories
- Prepare monthly, quarterly, and annual fixed asset reports, schedules, roll-forwards, and management analysis
- Reconcile the fixed asset subledger to the general ledger and investigate discrepancies
- Coordinate fixed asset accounting activities across multiple locations
- Partner with Facilities, Operations, Procurement, IT, Engineering, Manufacturing, and Real Estate departments
- Coordinate periodic physical inventories and audits of fixed assets

- Assist with annual budgeting, forecasting, and analysis of capital expenditures and depreciation
- Support implementation and maintenance of fixed asset modules within the ERP or accounting systems
- Support accounting and control of government-furnished or customer-owned property as applicable
The ideal candidate is detail-oriented, highly accountable, and a problem solver who can bring structure to complex, multi-location asset data and build strong partnerships across the organization. You will thrive in an environment where you can identify gaps, improve processes, establish effective controls, and take ownership of accurate financial and operational information.
