Contract Accountant Jobs in Spring, TX (NOW HIRING)

We are seeking experienced contract accountants to support our clients' accounting and reporting needs on a project and interim basis, in full-time W-2 roles through our firm, with assignments typically ranging from 3 to 12 months in duration.

As a contract accountant in our network, you will take on meaningful assignments that leverage your expertise, provide variety, and allow you to step into critical roles without the long-term commitment of a permanent position.

These roles are ideal if you enjoy solving problems quickly, owning deliverables, and seeing the impact of your work in real time.

About the Opportunity

Our clients engage contract accountants to cover parental leaves, support system implementations, stabilize teams after turnover, or add bandwidth during peak close and reporting cycles. As part of our talent pool, you'll be considered for:

• Revenue accounting roles focused on oil and gas properties and production.
• JIB assignments handling joint interest billing and owner relationships.
• External/SEC reporting projects supporting public-company filing requirements.
• General ledger and corporate accounting roles that anchor the monthly close.

Assignments are full-time and typically range from 3 to 12 months, from short, focused projects to longer interim roles. Many consultants choose to work on back-to-back engagements with us for ongoing income and flexibility.

• Coordinate with land, marketing, and production teams to resolve ownership changes, title issues, and pricing discrepancies.
• Assist with severance, royalty, and related tax filings and support compliance requirements.

JIB Accountant Focus

• Prepare and review joint interest billings and partner statements in line with joint operating agreements and COPAS guidelines.
• Allocate operating and capital costs to working interest owners, ensuring accuracy of decks, cost centers, and AFEs.
• Maintain JIB sub-ledgers, clear suspense items, and reconcile JIB-related balance sheet accounts.
• Respond to non-operator and partner inquiries, research disputes, and prepare corrections or adjusting entries.
• Support improvements around owner setup, billing cycles, coding, and reporting.

External/SEC Reporting Focus

• Assist in preparing quarterly and annual financial statements and related footnote disclosures.
• Support drafting and review of 10-Q, 10-K, 8-K, and other external reporting documents.
• Perform tie-outs, data validation, and consistency checks between trial balances, consolidation systems, and final filings.
• Support technical accounting research, memos, and implementation of new or complex standards.
• Coordinate with external auditors on PBC requests and supporting documentation.

General & Corporate Accounting Focus

• Manage day-to-day accounting activities such as AP, AR, fixed assets, and payroll entries (depending on client).
• Handle multiple entities, consolidations, intercompany eliminations, and foreign currency transactions where applicable.
• Prepare internal management reports and analysis to help leadership understand performance and trends.
• Support budgeting and forecasting processes, including templates and actuals vs. plan analysis.

• All roles are W-2 through our firm, with competitive hourly rates based on experience, assignment complexity, and location.
• Opportunities include onsite, hybrid, and fully remote arrangements, depending on client needs.
• Strong performance can lead to extensions, repeat engagements, or conversion to permanent roles, if desired.
