The Oil & Gas Accounting Podcast
If you're a CPA, an accountant, a bookkeeper, an office manager, or if you're an oil and gas operator that's doing the accounting yourself, you are who our brand new podcast is for. We’ve partnered with Tom Wierman, Executive Director of COPAS (The Council of Petroleum Accounting Society) to bring you the Oil & Gas Accounting Podcast. We noticed that no one has the conversations that actually help oil and gas accounting professionals do their job better, so we decided to change that and start to discuss the things and common issues and questions we know our clients and partners ask, and that you may be wondering yourself.
