Senior Accountant – Gas Operations | Fortune 500 Energy Business

Working Pattern: Hybrid – 4 days on-site, Fridays remote

Industry: Energy | Oil & Gas

Employment: Full-Time | Permanent

Are you an experienced Oil & Gas Accountant who understands what's driving the numbers, not just how to report them?

We're partnering with a Fortune 500 energy infrastructure business to appoint a Senior Accountant within its Dallas operations.

This is an opportunity to join a major player in the US energy sector, working across complex natural gas and NGL operations, commercial transactions and operational accounting.

We're looking for someone who can connect the dots between gas volumes, allocations, settlements, commercial contracts and financial results, someone who can investigate discrepancies, explain operational margins and make a genuine impact beyond the month-end close.

The Opportunity

You'll work within an established operational accounting function, collaborating closely with Commercial, Operations and Finance to ensure accurate financial reporting and improve the way accounting processes operate.

Your responsibilities will include:

• Managing complex gas/NGL accounting activities, including allocations, settlements, accruals and reconciliations.
• Investigating operational variances, margin fluctuations and discrepancies between financial and operational data.
• Understanding how commercial contracts, pricing and volumes influence financial results.
• Supporting month-end close, journal entries and financial reporting.
• Partnering with Commercial and Operations to resolve accounting issues.
• Identifying opportunities to streamline processes, strengthen controls and improve reporting.
• Supporting systems improvements and wider business initiatives.

What We're Looking For

Oil & gas accounting experience is essential. We're particularly interested in professionals who bring:

• Strong experience in operational accounting within the energy sector.
• Exposure to natural gas, NGLs, pipelines, allocations, settlements or revenue accounting.
• A solid understanding of month-end close, journal entries, reconciliations and variance analysis.
• The ability to investigate complex discrepancies and explain what's driving financial results.
• Strong analytical skills, initiative and a proactive approach to problem-solving.
• Confidence working across departments and communicating with operational stakeholders.

Experience with Quorum, BOLO, Enertia or similar energy accounting systems would be advantageous.

Why Consider This Opportunity?

• Join a Fortune 500 energy infrastructure business with significant operations across the US.
• Work with complex operational and commercial accounting activities.
• Gain exposure to cross-functional projects and process improvements.
• Develop your career within an established energy organisation.
• Benefit from a comprehensive total rewards package, including retirement benefits and performance-related incentives.
• Enjoy a consistent hybrid schedule with Fridays working remotely.

The hiring team is actively interviewing and moving forward with the recruitment process.
