Assistant Controller, Oil & Gas

We need to output HTML fragment with headings

for sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real specific content. We must not repeat job title as heading. No Job ID etc. Remove boilerplate. Must preserve all substantive info. We need to parse the posting. Let's extract sections: - About the role: The introductory paragraph describing role: "Whitley Penn, one of the nation’s leading audit, tax, and advisory firms, is looking for an Assistant Controller to join our team! The Assistant Controller will work closely with the Energy Practice leader to develop tools, systems, and processes for Oil & Gas Upstream accounting clients. The Assistant Controller will help oversee the operations of the Oil and Gas Consulting Group in Dallas, including the design of an organizational structure adequate for achieving client goals and objectives. Advanced technical skills and well-developed management and supervisory skills are required. The Assistant Controller will be expected to develop and train associates and make associations to develop new business for the firm. Whitley Penn has become one of the fastest growing public accounting firms by providing exceptional, personalized service that reaches far beyond traditional accounting. In addition to Audit and Tax solutions, we offer a wide range of Advisory and Consulting services. We work in collaborative teams with an emphasis on an open-door policy, entrepreneurial thinking, and a well-built culture. At Whitley Penn, we learn, innovate, and achieve by sharing knowledge, embracing new ideas, and working together. We’re looking for professionals who think like owners and want to be part of shaping a high-growth firm." That's about the role. - Responsibilities: The "What You Will Do" bullet list (actually sentences). We need to list each duty as

. - Requirements: The "What You Need To Get Here" list (experience, education, etc.) Could be considered requirements. - Qualifications: Might overlap with requirements and qualifications overlap. But we can separate: Requirements: experience, education; Qualifications: maybe specific technical skills? However we need to avoid thin sections. The instruction: Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. So we could combine Requirements and Qualifications into one section? But they ask to use headings for those categories if content exists. We need to decide if we have distinct content for each. The posting includes "What You Need To Get Here" which lists experience, education, software, etc. That could be considered Requirements. There's also a list of skills later: "Proven practice development ability", "Proficiency in the use of technology and accounting programs", etc. That could be Skills. Thus we can have sections: About the role (h3), Responsibilities (h3), Requirements (h3), Skills (h3), Benefits (h3). Pay and Schedule: we have location, office expectations: Hybrid; M/T/TH In-Office and W/F WFH. That's schedule info. Also classification: Full-time; Exempt. That could be schedule? Actually schedule is about work hours/remote. We have location and office expectations. That could be considered Schedule. Pay: not mentioned. So we should not include Pay section. Benefits: we have a list. Thus sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Skills, Benefits, Schedule (maybe). Also Qualifications? Could merge Requirements and Qualifications but we have both. Let's see if we have distinct qualifications beyond requirements: The "What You Need To Get Here" includes experience, education, software, etc. That's both requirements and qualifications. The later bullet list includes abilities: "Proven practice development ability", "Proficiency in the use of technology and accounting programs", "Extensive knowledge of GAAP...", etc. Those could be qualifications/skills. So we can treat Requirements as the baseline (experience, education, software). Skills as the abilities list. Qualifications maybe not needed. Thus sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Skills, Benefits, Schedule. Now we need to extract content precisely, preserving all substantive info, not inventing. Let's extract About the role paragraph(s). We'll combine into one

maybe multiple sentences but okay. Responsibilities: list each bullet from "What You Will Do". Let's extract each sentence that starts with a verb. From the text: "Work closely with the Energy practice Market Leader to develop tools, systems, and processes for Oil & Gas Upstream accounting clients." "Assume responsibility for overseeing the operations of the Oil and Gas Accounting group, including the design of an organizational structure adequate for achieving client’s goals and objectives, including supervision of associates, managing client satisfaction and planning, scheduling, and staffing, using firm policies and procedures." "Set up and implement accounting functions/processes related to O&G Upstream accounting." "Develop tools, systems, and processes related to O&G Upstream accounting." "Develop comprehensive client service plans (meetings, dates, assignments, etc.) for engagements in collaboration with the team" "Identify and research technical issues to assure compliance with relevant rules, guidelines, and standards" "Ensure that processes are conducted, and deliverables are prepared in accordance with professional and firm standards." "Participate in firm committees, departmental matters, learning experiences, etc.; contribute actively to changes in policies, processes, or procedures, using what you have experienced and learned to ensure improvement." "Monitor engagement team and client relationships; remove barriers and help resolve conflicts that could interfere with results or relationships." "Serve clients in a consultative role with an emphasis on exceptional client service and identification of value-added services; proactively interact with key client management to gather information, resolve problems and make recommendations for business and process improvements" "Own and monitor client relationships over the entire engagement process; communicate the progress of engagements, problems, and resolutions to client" "Monitor budgets by periodically reviewing WIP in Practice Manager and address overages in a timely manner." "Prepare invoices to clients, communicate details of fees to clients, and assist in the collection of overdue accounts" "Participate in the firm’s practice development efforts by involving yourself in the local business community and participating in proposal opportunities, which may include making presentations" "Provide on-the-job training for associates; review work of associates and senior associates" "Participate in the firm's performance management process by giving specific, actionable, and timely feedback to team members and completing performance evaluations, providing direction and coaching to team members, and contributing to decisions regarding individual readiness for promotion." "Develop coaching and managerial skills to enhance the development and growth of others" "Build specific and challenging developmental plans for all team members; monitor and document results" "Work to develop responsible trained staff by assisting in retention, developing training material and acting as an instructor in professional development programs" "Participate in technical and professional training throughout the year" "Participate in the firm’s annual performance management and goal-setting process" We need to ensure we don't duplicate similar lines: "Develop tools, systems, and processes related to O&G Upstream accounting." appears twice (first and third bullet). Actually first bullet: "Work closely with the Energy practice Market Leader to develop tools, systems, and processes for Oil & Gas Upstream accounting clients." That's slightly different. Third bullet: "Set up and implement accounting functions/processes related to O&G Upstream accounting." Fourth bullet: "Develop tools, systems, and processes related to O&G Upstream accounting." So we keep both as separate items. Now Requirements: from "What You Need To Get Here". Let's extract each bullet (they are sentences separated by line breaks). The text: "8+ years of experience in Oil & Gas accounting and analysis, primarily with Upstream/E&P, demonstrating a progression in complexity, scope, and number of engagement assignments" "Experience with setting up accounting functions/process as well as implementation acumen" "Experience with Ogsys accounting software (consists of OGsql and OGpro), and/or WolfePak." "BA or Master’s in accounting" "APA preferred" "Proven practice development ability" "Proficiency in the use of technology and accounting programs" "Extensive knowledge of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles, specifically as they relate to Oil & Gas upstream/E&P accounting, and a basic knowledge of federal & state Oil & Gas reporting requirements with the ability to research and apply theory and experience to individual circumstances" "A professional appearance, demeanor, and positive attitude" "Strong organizational and time management skills; ability to manage multiple engagements and projects, simultaneously" "Ability to analyze problems and recommend solutions" "Ability to assess, analyze and manage risk using appropriate frameworks, professional judgment, and skepticism" "Excellent communication skills, both orally and in writing; actively listens and clearly communicates ideas and information" "Ability to lead and work respectfully and productively with diverse individuals in a variety of roles" "Well-developed management and supervisory skills" Note some of these overlap with skills list later. But we will treat these as Requirements (experience, education, software, etc.) and maybe some are skills. However to avoid duplication, we could split: Requirements: experience, education, software, APA preferred. Skills: the rest (abilities). But the instruction says to include a section only when posting has real specific content for it. We have both. Thus we can define: Requirements (

We can combine into a paragraph: Full-time, exempt position located in Houston with a hybrid schedule (Monday/Tuesday/Thursday in-office, Wednesday/Friday work-from-home). We'll put as

. We should not include Pay section. Now About the role: we need to preserve all substantive info from the introductory paragraph before "Job Details". Let's capture that paragraph exactly as in text: "Whitley Penn, one of the nation’s leading audit, tax, and advisory firms, is looking for an Assistant Controller to join our team! The Assistant Controller will work closely with the Energy Practice leader to develop tools, systems, and processes for Oil & Gas Upstream accounting clients. The Assistant Controller will help oversee the operations of the Oil and Gas Consulting Group in Dallas, including the design of an organizational structure adequate for achieving client goals and objectives.
