INDUSTRY · OIL & GAS

Finance for oil & gas operating companies.

Interim CFO and operational finance for $20M–$300M oil & gas services companies, midstream operators, and junior E&P companies — especially in a down commodity cycle. The capex-cycle, joint-venture and commodity-exposure discipline that determines whether resource-sector operating businesses survive the next downturn with optionality intact.

01 / What matters here

The work that actually moves the P&L.

Sector-specific. Every oil & gas engagement is built around these levers, not a generic CFO playbook.

Joint-venture accounting

Capital calls, working interest accounting, JV partner reporting. The technical work that supports the operating decision.

Capex cycle planning

When to spend, when to hold, when to defer. With explicit commodity-price sensitivities.

Working capital in commodity cycles

How a services company survives a 6-month commodity downturn without layoffs.

Cross-border tax structuring

US / Canada / Latin America entity stacks. Transfer pricing, withholding, repatriation.

Royalty modeling

For producers and royalty-holders. Cash forecasting on the back of price decks.

Refinancing & lender management

Reserve-based lending, ABL, equipment debt. The lender relationships that protect optionality.
