Oil & Gas Accounting Outsourcing & Back-Office Services for Operators

Quick answer: Valor operates oil and gas accounting and the back office as an outsourced department for operators, family offices, private equity firms, and midstream companies. We run JIB, AFE, accounts payable, revenue distribution, production and financial reporting, and DOI/suspense inside your existing accounting system — typically 30–50% less than equivalent in-house staff, from Fort Worth and Midland, Texas. Talk to us about scoping an engagement.

Volatile commodity prices keep cost control at the top of every operator's list, and back-office headcount is one of the hardest things to scale up and down with activity. Valor Operator Services provides oil and gas accounting outsourcing and back-office services — full-service JIB accounting, AFE accounting, accounts payable, revenue distribution, and financial, operational, and production accounting — so you get a complete accounting function without hiring, training, or carrying the staff. We work inside your existing system and alongside the rest of the back office: JIB and revenue, owner relations, land administration, and regulatory compliance. Our clients include E&P operators, family offices, private equity firms, and midstream companies.
