Finance Manager

If you have spent the last several years inside a corporate accounting organization owning close, reconciliations, financial reporting, controls, and the day‑to‑day accounting activity behind the numbers, this position is built around that experience.

American Jereh is adding a Finance Manager in Houston to help lead accounting operations across an active, operational business environment.

This is not an audit-only or FP&A-only position. The role requires someone comfortable moving between the general ledger, close process, reconciliations, inventory and cost accounting, internal controls, financial reporting, team leadership, and conversations with operating leadership.

Candidates with experience in manufacturing, energy, oil and gas, industrial equipment, power generation, or other asset‑intensive environments will be particularly relevant.

Location: Houston, Texas

Work Arrangement: Full‑time onsite

Experience: 5–10 years of in‑house corporate accounting / finance preferred

CPA: Preferred
