The posting

Controller

Westlawn — Houston, TX

Company Summary

Westlawn is a private investment firm based in Houston, TX focused on long-term investment in the global oil and gas industry. We acquire operated and non-operated interests in producing, development, and exploration assets, as well as technologies that improve production. Our portfolio spans multiple legal entities and jurisdictions across the Americas and beyond.

Position Summary

We are seeking a Controller to lead the accounting function across our multi-entity, multi-jurisdiction oil & gas portfolio. This role owns an accurate and on-time close, the integrity and control of accounting data, financial reporting under both US GAAP and IFRS, the external audit, and payment and cash-disbursement controls. The role also drives modernization of the accounting organization through systems optimization and AI-enabled workflows. The ideal candidate pairs a CPA and Big 4 foundation with upstream oil & gas depth, strong technical and systems ability (Quorum ODA, advanced Excel, AI/automation), and experience operating across international entities and currencies.

Key Responsibilities

Close, Data Integrity & Controls

  • Own the close schedule and deliver it accurately and on time, with a focus on making improvements
  • Control the integrity, completeness, and accuracy of accounting data across all entities
  • Own the general ledger, consolidations, and account reconciliations across the multi-entity structure
  • Partner with the NMS corporate team to perform all required cost reimbursements and intercompany entries
  • Maintain and strengthen internal controls, accounting policies, and close discipline
  • Liaise with Treasury to ensure payment and cash-disbursement controls — banking-instruction integrity, preparer/approver segregation, and disbursement approval workflow

Audit

  • Serve as primary liaison for external auditors and manage the annual audit across jurisdictions

Financial Reporting

  • Own financial reporting — deliver timely, accurate financial statements under US GAAP (US entities) and IFRS (Brazil, Peru, and Oman)

Oil & Gas Accounting (primarily non-operated)

  • Provide leadership to the team and technical oversight of revenue and joint-venture accounting, ensuring it is consistently applied
  • Provide team leadership and support for non-operated revenue accounting from operator statements — working-interest, royalty, and ORRI revenue, and severance/production taxes
  • Oversee the team that reviews incoming joint interest billings (JIBs) against JOA and COPAS terms and reconciles operator joint-account statements, cash calls, prepayments, and suspense — ensuring improper or non-chargeable costs are identified and resolved
  • Oversee DD&A, depletion, ARO, and impairment at the entity level based on Westlawn’s net interest in reserves and costs
  • Review lease operating statements (LOS) and field-level cost reporting for reasonableness and cost control

International

  • Manage accounting for international entities, including multi-currency (FX) transactions, remeasurement/translation, and intercompany activity
  • Support the foreign team as they perform statutory and local reporting requirements, and coordinate with local advisors as necessary

Systems & Technology

  • Optimize the company’s oil & gas accounting platform, Quorum ODA — including integrations, upgrades, and data integrity
  • Manage and perform monthly data transfers from the foreign accounting systems into Quorum ODA
  • Lead or support system implementations, conversions, and process automation initiatives
  • Champion the adoption of AI and agentic workflows across the accounting function — close automation, reconciliation agents, reporting, and exception handling — and evaluate emerging tools for practical deployment
  • Build and maintain advanced Excel models supporting reconciliation, cash flow, and financial reporting

Leadership

  • Lead, develop, and mentor the accounting team (currently 5 FTE)
  • Partner with operations, treasury, and finance leadership on budgeting, forecasting, and ad hoc analysis

Required Qualifications

  • Active CPA license (required)
  • 8–10+ years of progressive accounting experience with increasing scope and leadership responsibility
  • Upstream oil & gas accounting experience (required); non-operated working-interest accounting strongly preferred, with deep working knowledge of non-op revenue, JIB review/audit, COPAS, AFE elections, DD&A, and ARO
  • Financial statement preparation under both US GAAP and IFRS (preferred)
  • Demonstrated ownership of the close, internal controls, and the external audit
  • Hands-on experience with Quorum ODA strongly preferred; comparable oil & gas platforms considered (e.g., Enertia, PakEnergy/WolfePak, W Energy, P2 BOLO/Excalibur)
  • Advanced Excel and financial modeling skills
  • Hands-on use of AI tools, automation, or agentic workflows in an accounting or finance context

Preferred Qualifications

  • Big 4 public accounting foundation (audit or assurance serving energy clients strongly preferred)
  • International or multi-entity accounting experience, including multi-currency (FX) consolidation and foreign-jurisdiction statutory reporting
  • Experience in an investment-manager or fund environment
  • Experience leading an accounting system implementation or conversion

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
