A bit about us:

Jobot is partnering with a publicly traded, large-cap energy company headquartered in Houston to place an Accounting Manager (preferably from Big 4) into their Financial Accounting group. This is a highly visible role that goes well beyond standard close work - you'll lead complex transactions, drive special projects, and interact directly with executive management, commercial, operations, legal, and joint venture partners. If you're a CPA with a public accounting background who wants to move into a dynamic corporate environment with real complexity, this is it.

Why join us?

Want to make a move from Big 4? Let's talk. Step into a high-visibility accounting role with direct exposure to executive leadership at a Fortune 500-level energy firm

Job Details

What You'll Do

Independently manage complex journal entries, detailed account reconciliations, and variance analysis across multiple areas
Lead accounting for M&A transactions, divestitures, and joint venture formations - including coordinating with fixed asset groups and reviewing legal agreements
Calculate and refresh asset retirement obligation (ARO) models and assess for potential impairments
Assist in completing regulatory filings in accordance with established standards
Serve as primary point of contact for internal and external auditors - gathering documentation and responding to inquiries independently
Conduct technical accounting research and draft policies and procedures
Manage overlapping special projects focused on process improvement and operational efficiency
Prepare for and lead cross-functional meetings with directors and VPs - including operations, legal, and planning teams
Mentor junior accounting staff on accuracy, reporting, and best practices

What We're Looking For

Bachelor's degree in Accounting required
3-6 years of progressive accounting experience; public accounting background required
CPA Required
Deep knowledge of U.S. GAAP
Advanced Excel skills; experience with Microsoft Copilot or other AI productivity tools is a plus
Proven ability to manage multiple priorities in a fast-paced environment
Strong communicator comfortable presenting to senior leadership
Self-directed, analytically strong, and highly organized

Why This Role Stands Out

High visibility - direct exposure to executive management and C-suite on special projects
Meaningful complexity - AROs, M&A accounting, JV formations, regulatory filings
Company is a major, well-established player in their sector with strong financial stability
Real mentorship opportunity for someone who wants to grow into a senior leader
