Job description

Build Your Accounting Career in an Industrial Energy Business

Jereh Energy Equipment & Technologies is part of Jereh Group, an international energy equipment and technology organization supporting customers across the oil and gas, power generation, industrial, and energy infrastructure markets.

Our North American businesses combine engineering, manufacturing, equipment, technology, and field execution to support customers operating in demanding energy and industrial environments.

Our North American Business

Jereh Energy Equipment & Technologies (JEET) supports the North American oil and gas and industrial markets through engineered equipment, technology, manufacturing, and related services.

Gen-Systems Power Solutions provides scalable power-generation solutions for applications including oil and gas operations, industrial manufacturing, utilities, commercial power requirements, and emergency response. Its solutions include mobile gas turbine power systems designed for customers requiring flexible and reliable power.

Across these businesses, our teams operate at the intersection of:

Energy

Oil & Gas

Power Generation

Manufacturing

Field Services

Project-Based Operations

This operating environment creates an accounting function that works closely with procurement, operations, warehouse, sales, service, project teams, and business leadership.

The Opportunity

We are seeking a Staff Accountant with hands-on Accounts Payable and Accounts Receivable experience to join our Houston finance team.

This is not a narrowly defined AP or AR processing position. The Staff Accountant will have direct responsibility for day-to-day transactional accounting while also supporting general ledger accuracy, account reconciliations, journal entries, month-end close, financial reporting, audit readiness, and internal controls.

The position is well suited for an accounting professional who enjoys being close to the business and wants exposure to the financial activity behind equipment, manufacturing, projects, customer operations, and a growing North American organization.

Professional Mandarin and English language proficiency is required for this position.

What You Will Do

Accounts Payable

Receive, review, code, and enter vendor invoices with appropriate approvals and supporting documentation.

Perform three-way matching of invoices, purchase orders, and receiving documentation when applicable.

Research invoice discrepancies and coordinate resolution with procurement, receiving, operations, and vendors.

Manage vendor setup and maintain accurate vendor records, including W-9 documentation and payment terms.

Prepare and process vendor payments through checks, ACH, and wire transfers.

Reconcile vendor statements and investigate outstanding or unmatched transactions.

Reconcile corporate credit card activity and employee expense submissions.

Maintain organized supporting documentation for internal review and audit readiness.

Assist with 1099 reporting, sales and use tax support, and accounting compliance requirements.

Support month-end close through AP reconciliations, accrued expenses, and related journal entries.

Accounts Receivable

Prepare, review, and issue customer invoices and credit memos accurately and on schedule.

Apply customer payments received by check, ACH, wire, and other payment methods.

Reconcile customer receipts against open invoices and investigate unapplied cash.

Review accounts receivable aging and follow up on past-due balances.

Communicate with customers regarding invoices, payment status, account reconciliations, and collection matters.

Research invoice disputes, short payments, deductions, and billing discrepancies.

Coordinate with sales, operations, project teams, and management to resolve customer account issues.

Prepare AR aging, collections, cash receipt, and related reporting for Finance leadership.

Maintain accurate customer master data, tax documentation, and account records.

Support month-end AR reconciliation and related journal-entry activity.

General Accounting & Month-End Close

Assist with monthly, quarterly, and year-end closing activities.

Prepare balance-sheet and other account reconciliations.

Prepare and support journal entries and general ledger activity.

Research accounting discrepancies and ensure transactions are properly recorded.

Help maintain the accuracy and completeness of financial records.

Support internal financial reporting and ad hoc financial analysis.

Assist with internal and external audit requests.

Maintain supporting schedules, accounting documentation, and financial records.

Help strengthen accounting procedures, documentation standards, and internal controls.

Business & Operational Support

Accounting at Jereh is connected to the operating business.

In this role, you will work with teams across:

Procurement and supply chain

Warehouse and receiving

Manufacturing and operations

Engineering and project teams

Sales and business development

Service and field operations

Finance and corporate leadership

You will help ensure that the transactions generated by these activities are accurately documented, reconciled, recorded, and reported.

What We Are Looking For

Required Qualifications

Associate's degree in Accounting, Finance, or a related field required; Bachelor's degree in Accounting or Finance preferred.

2+ years of professional accounting experience.

Direct hands-on responsibility for both Accounts Payable and Accounts Receivable.

Experience processing vendor invoices and customer billing transactions.

Experience applying customer cash and reconciling payments.

Experience with vendor and customer account reconciliations.

Working knowledge of general ledger accounting.

Experience supporting journal entries and month-end close.

Understanding of fundamental accounting principles and internal controls.

Experience working with an ERP or accounting information system.

Ability to independently prioritize and manage assigned accounting responsibilities.

Strong accuracy, follow-through, organization, and attention to detail.

Professional Mandarin and English language proficiency required.

Ability to work on-site in Houston, Texas.

Preferred Background

Experience within one or more of the following environments is especially valuable:

Manufacturing

Energy

Oil and gas

Oilfield equipment

Project-based businesses

Multi-entity organizations

Additional preferred experience includes:

Oracle or another major ERP platform

ERP-based AP/AR workflows

Multi-entity accounting

Internal controls

Sales and use tax support

1099 reporting

Process improvement

What Success Looks Like

A successful Staff Accountant in this role will be able to move comfortably between transactional accounting and broader accounting responsibilities.

You should be comfortable owning the details of AP and AR while understanding how those transactions flow into the general ledger, reconciliations, month-end close, financial reporting, cash management, and internal controls.

You will be joining a business where Finance works directly with operational teams, and where accuracy, responsiveness, and ownership matter as the North American organization continues to grow.

Why Jereh

This opportunity provides exposure beyond a traditional transactional accounting position.

The accounting activity supports businesses operating across energy equipment, power generation, oil and gas, engineering, manufacturing, projects, and field operations, giving the Staff Accountant visibility into how financial transactions connect to real operating activity.

For an accountant looking to broaden experience across AP, AR, general accounting, month-end close, operational finance, and an international business environment, this position offers room to develop while contributing immediately.
