Oil and gas revenue entry and distribution

Oil and gas companies cannot control the price of their product, but they can control the amount of money spent annually (Forbes, 2021). To do so, they need to keep their books in order and ensure that revenue is accurately entered and distributed.

Baker Tilly collaborates with our clients to optimize accuracy, costs and timeliness to ensure revenue distributions and owner relations are managed.
