Job ID#: 30563

Job Title: Technical Accounting & Reporting Manager – Energy Trading
(Alternative: Finance Manager – Energy Trading)

Position Overview
We are creating a new role to support our CFO on both day-to-day and long-term technical accounting initiatives . Driven by significant business growth, international expansion, and increasing organizational complexity, this position will be a hands-on, detail-focused individual contributor role. The successful candidate will thrive in the weeds of technical accounting and reporting, with no expectation of people management in the near term. This is not a Controller role and will not involve transactional tasks (journal entries, AP, AR), but rather high-level, complex accounting that is critical to the CFO function.

The right candidate will serve as the CFO’s right hand on technical accounting — someone he can trust to handle accounting complexities while he focuses on broader strategy and growth initiatives.

  • Lead technical accounting and reporting for energy trading activities.

  • Perform and review MTM valuations and related accounting entries.

  • Support valuation of energy products (physical and financial, including derivatives).

  • Manage reporting requirements across banks, risk, and compliance stakeholders .

  • Ensure reconciliations are complete, accurate, and timely.

  • Provide accounting leadership in support of international expansion.

  • Partner directly with the CFO on strategic accounting matters.

  • Support system and process enhancements (including CTRM platforms).

  • Deliver ad-hoc analysis and insights to support trading, finance, and risk.

Must-Have Qualifications

  • CPA designation, Big 4 background required .

  • Direct energy trading industry experience .

  • Strong technical accounting expertise with MTM, reporting, and valuation.

  • CTRM experience (platform agnostic).

  • Deep reconciliation experience.

  • Hands-on professional comfortable working as an individual contributor for several years.

Nice-to-Have Experience

  • Borrowing base reporting.

  • IFRS exposure.

  • International consolidations.

  • International tax strategy and transfer pricing.

  • Internal audit.

Preferred Candidate Profile

  • Big 4 CPA alumni with current experience in technical accounting at a major trade shop or energy hedge fund

  • Detail-obsessed professional who prefers technical depth over people management .

  • Excited by the opportunity to be a trusted technical partner to the CFO.

Compensation & Benefits

  • Top-of-market compensation — salary plus substantial individual contributor bonus potential.

  • Comprehensive benefits package.

  • In-office role with protected personal time — no evenings or weekends.

  • Houston-based, with no travel requirements .
