Senior Operations Accountant

Senior Operations Accountant | Bridge Ops & Finance | Natural Gas | Fort Worth The Accountant Who Actually Understands Well Pads

BKV Corporation needs a Senior Operations Accountant who can hold their own in a production meeting with field foremen—then turn around and present the financial story to the CFO. This isn't a cubicle role. You'll be the financial voice for 10 production areas across our natural gas operations, translating operational chaos into accounting clarity.

• Lead monthly meetings with Foremen, Operations VPs, and Advisors—answering granular questions about specific well pads AND high-level strategic questions in the same breath
• Present LOE accrual results to Denver accounting team and Fort Worth operations leadership
• Your variance explanations drive capital allocation decisions, not just file folders

• Build and maintain complex Excel accrual workbooks tracking costs by area, well pad, and allocation group
• Partner with field personnel to estimate current-period expenses when a storm shuts down production or emergency workovers disrupt normal operations
• Reconcile AP allocation groups and routes—you'll need to understand WHY costs hit certain well pads, not just THAT they did

• Morning:
  Field foreman asks why chemical costs spiked on Pad 14B (you know it's winter freeze protection)
• Afternoon: VP asks if LOE trends support increasing production guidance (you translate field intel into financial impact)
• You speak both languages fluently

• ✓ Shared office in Blue Mound with another accountant (3 days/week onsite minimum)
• ✓ Fixed month-end close deadlines + unscheduled operational curveballs (last week's storm didn't care about your close schedule)
• ✓ Excel-heavy:
  You'll adjust formulas, build allocation models, not just pull reports
• ✓ Enertia system today, SAP implementation coming (we'll train you)
• ✓ Several months side‑by‑side transition with outgoing accountant before she moves to CCUS role

You've spent 5+ years in upstream operations accounting
—and "operations" isn't just a word in your title. You've been in production meetings. You know what a pulling unit does. You understand why LOE spikes when water disposal wells go down. You've explained accrual variances to field supervisors...

Because you care about getting the answer right, not just closing the books on time.

✓
Direct experience partnering with field operations

  1)
