About The Role

We are looking for an Accounting Analyst to join our growing team and support the accounting operations of a small but exceptionally fast-growing company. In this role, you will work closely with our natural gas business, owning day-to-day accounting activities and helping build scalable processes as we grow. You will gain exposure to accounts receivable and payable, general ledger and reconciliations, month-end close, and financial reporting and analysis for stand-alone portfolios. As the company continues to grow rapidly, this role will evolve with new responsibilities and projects.

What You Will Do

• Partner with various natural gas counterparties to reconcile and resolve discrepancies for wholesale natural gas trades.
• Collaborate with our internal trade operations team to reconcile trade statements with external counterparties and resolve differences.
• Support compliance with state taxes related to natural gas activities.
• Perform accounts receivable and accounts payable processing and data entry with a high level of accuracy.
• Prepare, reconcile, and remit weekly sales commissions for external channel partners.
• Perform detailed monthly profit and loss analysis for assigned balance sheet and income statement accounts.
• Reconcile and monitor cash balances, including daily bank reconciliations for multiple accounts.
• Review accounting records, financial statements, and other reports to assess accuracy, completeness, and conformance with GAAP and internal reporting standards.
• Investigate and resolve financial discrepancies by collecting and analyzing account information.
• Maintain and improve accounting controls by following existing processes and recommending enhancements where you see inefficiencies or risks.
• Provide backup and support to the Accounting Team with financial reports, state information and tax reporting, regulatory compliance, audits, and other ad‑hoc tasks as needed.
• Protect the organization’s value and our people by maintaining strict confidentiality of all financial and personnel information.

What You Bring

• 2+ years of experience in accounting or a closely related field.
• Strong ability to multitask, prioritize, and deliver in a busy, fast‑growth environment.
• Self‑starter mindset with the ability to work independently with limited formal training and supervision.
• Advanced Excel skills, including lookups and complex formulas.
• Solid knowledge of commonly used concepts, practices, and procedures in accounting and finance.
• Collaborative attitude, flexibility, and eagerness to learn within a team environment.
• International accounting and state tax experience is a plus but not required.
• QuickBooks experience is strongly preferred.
