The extractive process can be a complex one, and the
unique factors and conditions of the particular job
or site, along with the regulations that govern it,
often complicate the business operation. Further, market
volatility and tax codes sometimes make it difficult
to stay competitive and can even have a negative impact
on the profitability of your companys energy and
natural resource holdings. For these reasons, you need
the professional advice of Dean, Dorton & Ford.
We provide a wide array of services to natural resource
and energy clients, including financial statement audits,
income tax preparation, and business valuations.
Our audit experience with natural resource entities
includes substantial projects in which companies have
never before been audited. Many first-time audit clients
are surprised to learn that an audit is not the unpleasant
experience that they dreaded. Instead, our clients comment
on our efficiency, professionalism, and friendly approach
to working with them during the audit process.
Let us put the knowledge and wisdom of nearly three
decades of experience to work for you in negotiating
the myriad tax rules that apply to one of the most complex
industries in the country.
