Joint Venture / AP Accountant (Contract)
Our client, a growing Calgary-based energy company, is seeking an experienced Senior Joint Venture / AP Accountant for a focused 3-month contract engagement, with strong potential for extension or permanent transition. Reporting to the VP of Finance and working closely with the accounting and field operations teams, this role is critical in supporting the integration and cost accounting transition for a newly acquired, 100% operated Alberta oil asset producing 500 bbl/d.
Your success will be defined by your ability to:

• Lead the full-cycle accounts payable, cost allocation, and vendor accounting for newly acquired operational assets during the transitional integration phase
• Work directly within JV Nexus to code, allocate, and process field-level operating expenses across specific cost centers and AFEs
• Assist with the setup, testing, and workflow integration of Pandell's AP/VP (Accounts Payable / Vendor Portal) module alongside vendor and system partners
• Audit incoming vendor invoices, resolve code/allocation discrepancies, and execute full-cycle payables to ensure seamless operational continuity
• Collaborate with field operations, joint venture partners, and executive leadership to establish reliable cost-tracking processes and field reporting models
• Utilize advanced Excel functions (pivot tables, complex formulas, data reconciliations) to review, validate, and manipulate financial datasets transferred during asset onboarding

Your strengths include:

• Strong, hands-on experience utilizing JV Nexus for joint venture and cost accounting operations
• Proven track record in full-cycle AP, vendor management, and field-level cost center allocations within the Western Canadian Sedimentary Basin (WCSB)
• Experience or familiarity with Pandell software modules, specifically AP/VP (or equivalent vendor portals/OpenInvoice workflows)
• Advanced proficiency in Microsoft Excel, including pivot tables, data reconciliations, and financial modeling
• Adaptability and confidence stepping into dynamic, acquisition-driven environments to establish clean accounting workflows with minimal supervision
• Prior experience in operated oil and gas assets, AFE tracking, and joint venture accounting standards is required
