POSITION OVERVIEW

Our client, a small and growing upstream E&P operator, is seeking an Assistant Controller /JIB Accountant to join their team. This is a hands-on role for an accounting professional who can operate independently, take ownership of day-to-day accounting functions, and support the Controller in building a strong, reliable accounting operation.

This position will play a key role across Accounts Payable, JIB, and month-end close, with visibility into the full accounting cycle. Direct JIB experience is preferred but not required-strong upstream AP experience with the ability to learn and grow into JIB responsibilities will be considered.

The ideal candidate is dependable, detail-oriented, and comfortable rolling up their sleeves in a lean environment.

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES
  • Own and manage full-cycle Accounts Payable for upstream operations (high-volume processing, accuracy, and timeliness)
  • Review, code, and enter invoices tied to LOE, CAPEX, and field operations
  • Code costs to appropriate properties, wells, and AFEs
  • Support and/or lead Joint Interest Billing (JIB) processes, including partner billings
  • Assist with revenue distribution and partner-related accounting as needed
  • Reconcile vendor statements and resolve discrepancies in a timely manner
  • Collaborate cross-functionally with Operations, Land, and Engineering to ensure proper cost allocation
  • Support month-end close, including accruals, reconciliations, and reporting
  • Maintain organized, audit-ready financial records
  • Identify and implement process improvements to increase efficiency and accuracy
  • Serve as a key support to the Controller on ad hoc projects and accounting initiatives
QUALIFICATIONS
  • 3+ years of accounting experience, preferably within upstream oil & gas
  • Strong background in Accounts Payable and cost coding (LOE, AFE, well-level tracking)
  • Exposure to or willingness to learn JIB accounting
  • Solid understanding of month-end close processes
  • High attention to detail with strong organizational skills
  • Proven track record of tenure, reliability, and accountability
  • Self-starter who can work independently in a small team environment
  • Proficient in Excel and accounting systems (Enertia, OGSYS, WolfePak, SAP, Oracle, QuickBooks, or similar)
