Technical Clarity for a Transitioning Industry

Resilience and Precision in a Volatile Market

The energy sector operates in an environment of constant change—characterized by fluctuating commodity prices, shifting regulatory landscapes, and a global transition toward diversified power sources. Whether you are an independent producer, a midstream operator, or a developer in the renewable space, your financial reporting and tax strategies must be as resilient as your operations.

We provide the industry depth you require. You shouldn’t have to explain the nuances of depletion, joint interest billing, or power purchase agreements to your advisors. At Calvetti Ferguson, we believe that high-quality accounting is a tool for navigating volatility. We act as a technical partner to your leadership team, providing the independent perspective needed to satisfy lenders, attract investors, and manage the complex life cycle of energy assets.

Comprehensive Solutions for the Energy Lifecycle

From traditional oil and gas to the emerging renewable economy, we provide a unified platform of services designed to help energy companies professionalize their oversight and maximize their value.

Audit, Assurance & Technical Accounting

In a capital-intensive industry, your financial statements are the primary means by which you establish trust with your stakeholders. We provide the rigor needed for complex asset reporting.

      • Financial Statement Audits: Delivering independent verification for energy companies with complex ownership structures, specialized inventory, and global footprints.

      • Internal Control Evaluations: Assessing your internal environment to identify gaps in reporting and mitigate the risk of operational leakage.

      • Complex Technical Accounting: Providing guidance on ASC 842 (Leases), asset retirement obligations (AROs), and revenue recognition for energy contracts.

Strategic Tax & Regulatory Compliance

Energy tax is its own language. We help you navigate specialized credits and multi-jurisdictional obligations to keep more capital working in the field.

      • Corporate & Partnership Tax: Strategic planning for diverse entity structures, ensuring you meet your obligations while maximizing cash flow.

      • Energy Tax Credits & Incentives: Identifying and securing specialized credits for renewable energy projects, carbon sequestration, and traditional exploration.

      • Multi-State & Severance Tax: Seamlessly managing your tax obligations across various state lines and local jurisdictions.

Transaction & Advisory Support

Whether you are acquiring new acreage, divesting an asset, or preparing for an institutional partnership, we provide the data-backed insights to protect your interests.

      • Transaction Due Diligence: Performing deep-dive Quality of Earnings (QofE) and tax reviews to validate the true value of assets during an acquisition or merger.

      • Renewable Energy Advisory: Helping traditional energy companies and new developers navigate the financial and tax complexities of solar, wind, and storage projects.

      • On-Call Financial Leadership: Providing fractional C-suite support to bridge the gap during periods of rapid growth or organizational transition.

Supporting Every Stage of the Energy Enterprise

We understand that a “one-size-fits-all” approach doesn’t work in Energy. We tailor our rigor to meet your specific organizational needs.

  • For Independent & Private Operators: We help you transition from informal reporting to institutional-grade governance, protecting what you’ve built while preparing for what’s next.

  • For Private Equity-Backed Portfolios: We provide the standardized reporting and due diligence required to manage multiple assets and meet the demands of sophisticated investors.

  • For Public & Global Entities: We provide the technical depth and independence necessary to meet the requirements of regulatory bodies and large-scale shareholder groups.
