Entry-Level Accounting Associate

Dudley Land Company • Oklahoma City, OK

7d • Onsite

About The Position

Dudley Land Company has spent 45+ years as one of the country's go-to land partners for the energy industry: handling everything from landman services to title work across oil, gas, and renewables. Behind every project we run is an accounting team keeping the books straight across a growing family of affiliated entities. That's where you come in. We're hiring an Accounting Associate to take ownership of the day-to-day financial operations that keep Dudley and its subsidiaries running smoothly: banking, accounts payable, 1099s, and multi-entity state compliance. This isn't a starter role we made up to fill a headcount number. It's an established position that's grown into the operational backbone of our accounting function, and we need someone who takes real pride in getting the details right.

Requirements

• High school diploma or equivalent.
• Strong verbal, written, and interpersonal communication skills.
• Comfort with Office 365 (Outlook, Excel, Word) and Adobe, plus the organizational chops to manage physical document flow.
• The ability to stay accurate and productive in a deadline-driven environment; this role touches five-plus entities at once, and details can't slip.
• A genuine customer-service mindset with clients, coworkers, and contractors.
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, and the ability to work well both independently and as part of a team.

Nice To Haves

• Previous accounting experience with a working knowledge of debits and credits.
• Some formal accounting education (coursework, certificate, or degree).
• Experience with state compliance work (annual reports, registered agents) and/or 1099 filing.
• Familiarity with accounting software or land-industry programs.
• Experience in a multi-entity or multi-division company.

Responsibilities

• Manage banking and treasury tasks: reconcile statements, monitor and maintain credit card accounts, and handle monthly/quarterly reporting for bank and tax accounts.
• Serve as a company check signer, reviewing and signing weekly AP checks and posting AP items outside the AP clerk's scope.
• Handle minor, repetitive journal entries and quarterly tax extensions and estimate payments (due dates and amounts provided to you).
• Own 1099 preparation and mailing for contractors and vendors.
• Keep every entity in compliance: maintain the master entity spreadsheet, file and pay annual reports, manage registered agent services in states where we don't have an office, and create or register new entities as needed.
• Review the bi-monthly A/R aging report and follow up with the A/R clerk on open items.
• Set up new client registrations: questionnaires, online accounts, W-9s, banking info, and COIs.
• Back up the billing department during vacations or overflow.
