Details About this Career Opportunity:


Overview:


The best Accountants are multi-functional. They have the ability to work with all functions including financial accounting, external reporting and financial analyst in coordinating all aspects of the external reporting process throughout its lifecycle. This includes variance analysis, Ebitda, 10-k, 10-Q, Reg G and exposure to SEC regulations. Their greatest skill is having the ability to understand the energy industry and be a self starter. Management presentation and heavy external reporting is a critical part of this. Mistakes are sometimes made in hiring an Accountant who is not a self starter and requires a lot of direction in planning routine external reports.

Performance Objectives

Learn our business and review previous quarter results: During the first 30 days work across functions to prepare formal financial statements and accompanying notes to supporting documentation and source of information. This includes gathering information required for filings and review of information for preparation of SEC filings and financial reports for financial institutions, management and other statement users.

2. Prepare and compile financial and non-financial information: Work with other accounting departments to do special reporting on Forms 10-K, 10-Q and 8-K. Prepare quarterly and year end variance analysis packages and lead sheets.

3. Assist in preparation and review of SEC filings: Build internal management reports and analysis to provide support for quarterly SEC filings. Take the lead on future subsidiary reports.


Qualifications:


Being an Accountant for an Energy company needs to have at least 5 years background in various phases of external reporting. This includes a Bachelors degree in Accounting and good knowledge of accounting methods and techniques. Exposure to SEC reporting would be helpful. This includes the ability to research accounting and external reporting issues. The ability to learn quickly and work under pressure is essential for being successful in this organization.
