Oil & Gas Controller

Job Description
CSI Recruiting is working with a very unique and dynamic domestic-focused upstream oil and gas company in Fort Worth, Texas that is seeking to hire an experienced Oil & Gas Controller. We know this company very well - they are poised for substantial growth, building upon decades of successful operations in some of the country's most significant oil and gas plays.

This Controller role, reporting to the company's CFO, will oversee all of the day-to-day accounting activities and dictate the department's operation, including staffing decisions. The Controller will be responsible for overseeing budget management, payroll, accounts payable, accounts receivable, forecasting, treasury management, and financial analysis and reporting.

This role is an exciting opportunity for an oil & gas industry accounting professional that excels in an active work environment on a team of highly motivated individuals. There will be growth opportunities for an individual seeking expanded responsibilities. That said, if you're seeking to hire on as the Controller and stay in that role long-term, that's a perfectly viable path as well.

Again, this firm works with their people to understand career goals, not to dictate your future.
