Job description

A privately held energy and natural resources company is hiring a Senior Accountant to join our accounting team in our Dallas, TX office. We operate across multiple businesses in mining, processing and power, and our accounting team supports all of it, so the work rarely looks the same two days in a row.

This is a broad, hands-on accounting role covering everything from day-to-day bookkeeping and account reconciliations to financial analysis and reporting for leadership. You'll work closely with the rest of the accounting team and be trusted to take on whatever the day calls for, from the smallest task to the most complex, without needing to be told exactly how.

This is a confidential search. The company name will be shared with candidates who move forward in the process.

Job type: Full-time, exempt

Location: In-office, Dallas, TX (Monday-Thursday on-site)

WHAT YOU WILL DO

WHAT YOU BRING

Required

• 5+ years of progressive accounting experience; established in your career rather than early-stage.


• Solid working knowledge of general ledger accounting, account reconciliations and month-end close.


• Strong Excel skills, including comfort with large data sets, reconciliation and building analysis from raw data.


• Experience with accounts payable, vendor management and day-to-day transactional accounting.


• Comfortable moving between detailed, hands-on work and higher-level analysis in the same week, and treats both as equally important.


• A self-starter who anticipates next steps rather than waiting to be told, and takes ownership of a task once it's handed off.


• Thrives in a fast-paced, frequently changing environment and adapts easily when priorities shift.


• Works well as part of a small, close-knit team and is comfortable wearing multiple hats.


• Comfortable with ambiguity, and doesn't need every task fully scoped out in advance to get started.
