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.

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.

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

Comprehensive benefits package.
In-office role with protected personal time — no evenings or weekends.
Houston-based, with no travel requirements .
