Manager - Revenue Accounting

About the Opportunity

Partnership Employment has been retained by a well-established upstream oil and gas company in Houston to identify a Manager of Revenue Accounting. This is a senior leadership role with direct ownership of a seven-person team and full accountability for the revenue accounting function — from monthly accruals and regulatory filings to process improvement and cross-departmental collaboration.

Our client operates both operated and non-operated properties and is looking for someone who brings deep technical knowledge, a track record of building strong teams, and the kind of credibility that makes them a trusted resource across the organization.
 

What You Will Do

• Lead a team of seven revenue accounting professionals responsible for accruals on operated and non-operated properties, state royalty and severance tax filings, and federal/Indian royalty filings.
• Own the monthly revenue close process, including month-over-month variance analysis and trend reporting across pricing, volumes, and values.
• Serve as the primary coordinator between internal stakeholders — Production, Marketing, Land, Legal, and Corporate Accounting — and external third parties to ensure timely and accurate revenue reporting.
• Identify and implement process improvements that address changing business needs while strengthening internal controls.
• Maintain and update policy, procedure, and process documentation.
• Support corporate acquisition and divestiture activity, including system setup for newly acquired properties.
• Manage DR21W reporting to owners.
• Assist with data and reporting flows between the Excalibur accounting system and other internal platforms.

 

What You Bring

• A 4-year degree in Accounting or Finance with 10+ years of oil and gas revenue accounting experience, or a high school diploma with 15+ years of progressive, equivalent experience.
• Deep working knowledge of revenue accounting for both operated and non-operated properties, including monthly regulatory reporting obligations.
• 4+ years of supervisory or team leadership experience.
• 8+ years of hands-on experience with Excalibur or a comparable oil and gas accounting system (WolfePak, Enertia, P2, Quorum, or similar).
• A history of building cooperative working relationships across internal departments and with external parties.
• Strong interpersonal skills with a genuine interest in mentoring and developing staff.
• The ability to lead and delegate while staying close enough to the technical work to be a credible resource for your team and peers.
• Excellent critical thinking and problem-solving skills — you can work through complex, ambiguous situations and communicate your conclusions clearly.
• Flexibility and composure when priorities shift.
• Strong proficiency in Microsoft Excel and Office; comfortable with PowerPoint.
• Experience with oil and gas property acquisitions and divestitures, including system setup for acquired assets, is a bonus.
• Accredited Petroleum Accountant (APA) designation is a plus.

 

Compensation & Benefits

• Base salary of $140,000 to $160,000, commensurate with experience.
• Annual discretionary cash bonus based on individual and company performance.
• Long-term incentive compensation through participation in the company's LTI plans.
