Oil and gas consulting firms can be big institutions with a global presence and teams of professionals to assess the industry and your company. The oil and gas industries have more factors to consider than other industries. You want experienced advisers and consultants when you are financially planning in the oil and gas industries.

I recommend: Ernst & Young's oil and gas division works the full spectrum of services, by providing risk management, tax and assurance strategies for the oil and gas industry. GE is in the business of investing in energy projects. It uses both public and private equities to finance.

Use specific accounting software for financial planning for oil companies and gas companies
