Accounting Manager


Salary: $80,000 - $120,000

Why This Opportunity Stands Out



  • Family‑owned organization with a strong, long‑standing local presence in the oil & gas community

  • Stable business with over 100 employees and a collaborative, down‑to‑earth culture

  • High visibility role working directly with the Director of Finance and senior leadership

  • Opportunity to grow your scope as the company evolves—learning environment with long‑term upside

  • Hands‑on accounting focus without the pressure of owning full financial reporting

  • Onsite role that values flexibility, trust, and work‑life balance

  • No legacy messes—this search just opened, and the team is motivated to make the right hire

  • Ideal for someone who enjoys being a technical resource and go‑to expert in oil & gas accounting




Key Responsibilities for the Accounting Manager



  • Oversee core oil & gas accounting functions, including general ledger and revenue accounting

  • Manage revenue, production accounting, and joint interest billing (JIB)

  • Handle oil & gas–specific tax accounting and compliance support

  • Coordinate and review work completed by staff accountants

  • Serve as a key accounting partner to the Director of Finance


(Note: Financial reporting is handled by the Controller.)



Qualifications for the Accounting Manager



  • Experience in oil & gas accounting (upstream preferred)

  • Strong background in general accounting and revenue cycle

  • Hands‑on experience with JIB, production, and GL accounting

  • Prior experience at a similar‑sized oil & gas company

  • Management experience not required
