Oil & gas solutions

Baker Tilly understands the life cycle of businesses in the oil and gas sector — from inception to growth to acquisition and maintenance. Our team can assist with all aspects of a company’s financial, tax and technology life cycle.

  • Upstream
  • Midstream
  • Field services

Upstream profitability is closely tied to the oil and gas industry's complex financial reporting and compliance, digital innovation and market volatility.

Baker Tilly can help you address your challenges, including:

  • Outsourced accounting: Our team helps build critical scale in managed services allowing your team to focus on your core business, not on processing and managing your payables, joint interest billing (JIB) statements or revenue distribution checks.
  • Digital solutions: By harnessing the power of your data, we improve business performance and profit, support growth, manage risk and strengthen your competitive advantage.
  • Risk management: Develop a comprehensive risk management program to secure operations amid business changes to help companies adjust to a cyclical market. Our industry specialist can help your business focus on the strategic landscape of the organization and its future.

Midstream companies are under increased pressure from capital constraints, a stressed supply chain and environmental concerns regarding emissions from core oil and gas operations.

Baker Tilly can help you optimize your operations through:

  • Baker Tilly advantage: We can aid your business with advisory services, bringing strategy, finance and technology together to create a deployable opportunity that reduces the delays and disruptions in the delivery of equipment and materials.
  • Supply chain strategy, planning and optimization: In the competitive marketplace, a strong supply chain strategy is essential to mitigate disruptions, delays and increased costs. Baker Tilly's strategic advisory services are tailored to optimize and fortify supply chains, ensuring resilience, driving value and enhancing competitiveness.
  • ESG: Developing a strategy to take action on your energy transition commitments by helping you stay ahead of regulatory changes, new technologies and subsidies taxes supporting decarbonization initiatives.

Oil and gas field services providers are faced with evolving cybersecurity threats, resource pressures and unique tax situations.

Baker Tilly can help you address these challenges by:

  • Cybersecurity: Review your organization's cyber defense protection to avoid a potential cybersecurity breach to help achieve measurable security enhancements and cybersecurity control improvements.
  • CFO advisory: Utilize advanced analytics and the transformation of financial and accounting functions to help owners, investors, CFOs and their teams meet evolving critical needs along their business life cycle.
  • Tax services: Our accountants are familiar with the intricacies of the industry’s tax incentives which allows our clients to take advantage of federal tax benefits while staying on top of variations in state taxation.
