A commitment to serving the Oil and Gas Industry

A commitment to serving
the Oil and Gas Industry
A note from Dale Jensen, Partner-in-Charge, Oil and Gas Services
Knowing where our clients are coming from and helping them get where they
want to go is what drives us. The energy industry is fueled by risk. Price volatility, cost
escalation, access to oil and gas reserves, access to capital, IT security and evolving
energy and environmental policies top the lists of concerns our clients voice. Our
response is to provide customized, risk-based, cost-effective solutions that help our
clients achieve success.
The size of our firm and our dedication to the oil and gas industry contribute to our
ability to provide exceptional service. Our vast knowledge and experience across
all sectors of the energy industry, various financial and operational processes,
internal controls, governance and financial reporting issues, as well as our keen
understanding of the ever-changing market environment, distinguish Weaver’s work.
Weaver has the resources to help your company. With a depth of services—from
traditional audit and tax; to state and local and international tax; to transaction, risk
and IT advisory services to forensics and litigation services—Weaver has a team of
knowledgeable professionals who are deeply experienced in creating solutions for
the challenges and opportunities you face.
Highly satisfied clients and enduring client relationships have defined our success
beyond market cycles and across generations. We bring together integrity, quality,
industry knowledge, insight, accountability, trust and experience—and combine this
with a passion for your success. Let us weave together the right people and solutions
for your business.
