Job description

Staff Accountant | Project Accounting | The Woodlands, TX

Are you an accountant who wants to do more than sit behind a spreadsheet and disappear into a giant corporate org chart?

We should talk.

We’re partnering with a great, growing company in the power generation and renewable energy space to find a Staff Accountant who wants to learn, contribute, and grow alongside the business.

And this isn’t just another accounting job. Your first big project will support a utility-scale solar project.

Why This Opportunity Stands Out

• Project Accounting Exposure – Get involved in the financial side of real infrastructure projects, with opportunities to build your project accounting skills.
• High Visibility – Work closely with the accounting team and other areas of the business. In a smaller organization, your contributions matter.
• Room to Grow – This is an opportunity to build a strong accounting foundation and take on more responsibility as the business evolves.
• A Great Team & Environment – Join a smaller, collaborative organization where you’re a valued contributor, not just another employee number.
• Hybrid Work Environment – Enjoy a blend of in-office collaboration and flexibility.

What You’ll Be Doing

• Supporting project-related accounting activities, including invoice coding, tracking costs, and maintaining accurate financial records.
• Processing accounts payable and working with vendors to resolve discrepancies.
• Assisting with month-end close, journal entries, accruals, and account reconciliations.
• Supporting project costs, financial reporting, audits, and other accounting initiatives.
• Partnering with the team to keep financial information accurate, organized, and moving in the right direction.

Who Should Apply?

We’re looking for someone who is detail-oriented, dependable, curious, and ready to roll up their sleeves.

You might be a great fit if you have:

• A degree in Accounting, Finance, or a related field—or relevant accounting experience.
• 2–5 years of accounting experience, including internships.
• Familiarity with accounts payable, general ledger, reconciliations, or Excel.
• An interest in project accounting and understanding how the numbers connect to the bigger picture.

Experience in power generation, renewables, or infrastructure is a plus, but not a requirement. We’re more interested in finding someone with the right foundation, attitude, and desire to grow.

The bottom line: If you want to build your accounting career, work with good people, and help support projects that make a real-world impact, this could be your next move.
