About the role 

We are looking for an Accounting Analyst to join our growing team and support the accounting operations of a small but exceptionally fast-growing company. In this role, you will work closely with our natural gas business, owning day-to-day accounting activities and helping build scalable processes as we grow. You will gain exposure to accounts receivable and payable, general ledger and reconciliations, month-end close, and financial reporting and analysis for stand-alone portfolios. As the company continues to grow rapidly, this role will evolve with new responsibilities and projects. 

What you will do 

• Partner with various natural gas counterparties to reconcile and resolve discrepancies for wholesale natural gas trades. 

• Collaborate with our internal trade operations team to reconcile trade statements with external counterparties and resolve differences. 

• Support compliance with state taxes related to natural gas activities. 

• Perform accounts receivable and accounts payable processing and data entry with a high level of accuracy. 

• Prepare, reconcile, and remit weekly sales commissions for external channel partners. 

• Perform detailed monthly profit and loss analysis for assigned balance sheet and income statement accounts. 

• Reconcile and monitor cash balances, including daily bank reconciliations for multiple accounts. 

• Review accounting records, financial statements, and other reports to assess accuracy, completeness, and conformance with GAAP and internal reporting standards. 

• Investigate and resolve financial discrepancies by collecting and analyzing account information. 

• Maintain and improve accounting controls by following existing processes and recommending enhancements where you see inefficiencies or risks. 

• Provide backup and support to the Accounting Team with financial reports, state information and tax reporting, regulatory compliance, audits, and other ad‑hoc tasks as needed. 

• Protect the organization’s value and our people by maintaining strict confidentiality of all financial and personnel information. 

What you bring 

• 2+ years of experience in accounting or a closely related field. 

• Strong ability to multitask, prioritize, and deliver in a busy, fast-growth environment. 

• Self-starter mindset with the ability to work independently with limited formal training and supervision. 

• Advanced Excel skills, including lookups and complex formulas. 

• Solid knowledge of commonly used concepts, practices, and procedures in accounting and finance. 

• Collaborative attitude, flexibility, and eagerness to learn within a team environment. 

• International accounting and state tax experience is a plus but not required. 

• QuickBooks experience is strongly preferred. 

Role details
