Job Title: Technical Accounting & Reporting Manager – Energy Trading
(Alternative: Finance Manager – Energy Trading)
Location: Houston, TX (100% In-Office, No Travel)
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.

Perform and review MTM valuations and related accounting entries.
Support valuation of energy products (physical and financial, including derivatives).

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 .
