Note - For this role, will prioritize candidates with fuel tax experience.

We’re seeking a hands-on Interim Accountant to support the Fuels Distribution business during a system transition and integration phase.
The ideal candidate combines strong general ledger and inventory accounting expertise with process design and system integration experience—particularly involving operational systems migrating from Ascend to Vertrax, integrated into Oracle.

This role focuses on month-end close, inventory accuracy, accrual management, intercompany reconciliation, and tax compliance. AP and AR are outsourced, so emphasis is placed on GL control, mapping accuracy, and process flow integrity across systems.

Key Responsibilities
• Lead and execute the monthly close per the fuels business closing calendar.
• Prepare and post recurring and ad hoc journal entries (inventory accruals, intercompany transactions, deferred drydock, lease and prepaid amortizations).
• Perform GL reconciliations for inventory, clearing, accruals, prepaids, and bank accounts.
• Validate Ascend and Vertrax data feeds into Oracle, ensuring mapping integrity and correcting suspense postings.
• Partner with operations and IT to ensure smooth transition from Ascend to Vertrax, supporting testing, reconciliation, and process documentation.
• Verify terminal and vessel fuel inventory quantities, valuations, and cost allocations.
• Manage PO accruals and reversals, ensuring proper cut-off and cost recognition.
• Prepare and review intercompany transactions for balance and accuracy across entities.
• Support Form 730 fuel tax filings, ensuring compliant, accurate data aggregation.
• Produce monthly terminal and cost center reports, distributing to finance and operational leads.
• Identify and implement process improvements in closing, data mapping, and reporting flows between systems.

Preferred Qualifications
• Bachelor’s degree in Accounting or Finance.
• Minimum 5 - 7 years of progressive accounting experience; experience in fuel distribution, logistics, or marine operations preferred.
• Demonstrated experience with ERP integrations—ideally Ascend → Vertrax and Oracle.
• Strong understanding of U.S. GAAP and fuel excise tax (Form 730).
• Proven ability to analyze process flows, reconcile complex data, and resolve mapping errors.
• High attention to detail, organized, and able to manage competing deadlines.
• Strong communication skills with the ability to work cross-functionally.
