You'll play an important role in:

A successful applicant for this role will:

• hold a bachelor's degree in accounting and have at least three years of relevant experience, ideally in the energy industry
• possess a positive, team-oriented mindset and enjoy being a part of a high-performing team; have a desire to learn, take on new challenges, and strive to improve personal performance
• thrive in a fast-paced, dynamic environment and meet strict reporting deadlines
• have experience preparing US GAAP-compliant financial statements and related footnotes
• be proficient in Microsoft Office; prior experience working with SAP and ONESOURCE is preferred
• be capable of working independently while seeking guidance on more complex matters, exercising critical thinking to solve problems within known areas and embrace a global mindset and collaborate effectively in a diverse, cross-functional setting
• possess a robust base of technical accounting knowledge and a willingness to perform research when necessary. This person does not need to know all the answers, but a willingness to try will be appreciated. Familiarity with revenue recognition, leases, property, plant and equipment (PP&E), and
