    Job Description

    Energy Talent Search is working with an upstream oil & gas company in Houston that is continuing to grow through producing asset acquisitions and operational development across multiple Lower 48 regions.

    This is a hands-on accounting and reporting role inside a lean, entrepreneurial environment where accounting professionals are given broad exposure across financial reporting, technical accounting, operational support, acquisitions, and upstream accounting activities.

    The company is looking for someone who enjoys operating in a fast-moving environment where priorities evolve quickly and where accounting professionals contribute across multiple areas of the business rather than working inside a highly siloed corporate structure.

    This role combines:
    • financial reporting
    • technical accounting
    • upstream oil & gas accounting
    • monthly close support
    • operational analytics
    • acquisition-related accounting exposure

    The environment is highly visible and offers direct interaction with leadership while supporting a growing upstream platform.

    What You’ll Actually Be Doing

    • Prepare quarterly and annual financial reporting packages and supporting schedules
    • Assist with monthly close activities, reconciliations, variance analysis, and reporting deliverables
    • Support GAAP accounting policy implementation and technical accounting research
    • Participate in accounting activities tied to producing properties, depletion, impairment, and asset retirement obligations
    • Support hedge and derivative-related accounting functions
    • Coordinate audit requests, tax support, and outside reporting requirements
    • Assist with internal controls, accounting documentation, and process improvements
    • Support acquisition-related accounting projects and operational initiatives
    • Work closely with leadership in a lean, highly visible accounting environment

    What the Role Feels Like

    This is not a large corporate accounting environment with narrow responsibilities and multiple layers of bureaucracy.

    The company is looking for someone comfortable operating inside a lean upstream organization where accounting professionals contribute broadly, work closely with leadership, and help support ongoing growth initiatives tied to acquisitions and operational development.

    Why This Role Stands Out

    • Private upstream oil & gas company
    • Strong acquisition and growth activity
    • Broad exposure across reporting and technical accounting
    • High visibility to leadership
    • Entrepreneurial environment
    • Opportunity to contribute beyond a narrow job description
    • Strong long-term growth opportunity



    Requirements

    • Bachelor’s degree in Accounting or related field
    • CPA strongly preferred
    • Minimum of 3+ years of upstream oil & gas accounting experience
    • Minimum of 3+ years of public accounting experience preferred
    • Strong GAAP and financial reporting knowledge
    • Experience with financial statement preparation and supporting disclosures
    • Exposure to DD&A, ARO, impairment, and derivative accounting preferred
    • Strong month-end close and account reconciliation experience
    • Advanced Excel and spreadsheet proficiency required
    • Strong analytical, organizational, and communication skills
    • Ability to manage multiple priorities and deadlines in a fast-paced environment
    • Self-starter mentality with ability to work independently



    Benefits

    • Approximate base salary range: $140K – $175K depending on experience and overall fit
    • Full in-office Houston role
    • High-visibility accounting position
    • Broad exposure across financial reporting and technical accounting
    • Entrepreneurial upstream oil & gas environment
    • Opportunity to work closely with leadership
    • Long-term growth opportunity within a growing organization
