Where do I begin?
Being a part of the Accounting Management team in the Oil and Gas industry you learn a great deal about the skillset it takes to make your monthly processes run smoothly and meet strict deadlines.  I'm ashamed to say it took me working 70+ hours a week to see the light but that light shines pretty bright now! The oil and gas industry provides a wide-range of critical services that requires an efficient Accounting group.  Most of these services require analytical thinking along with a keen focus to detail.   

I'm here to tell you --- not all Accounting professionals maintain both of these skills.  They may tell you they do in the interview - you soon learn within 2 weeks that they don't.  As the leader, you are then left with the hard decision of letting someone go or teaming them up with one of your best staff members for additional training.  I've made the decision both ways and I would have to say letting the individual go was the best decision. Why? First, it does not burden your current team with additional training time -- because remember, this person was brought on board to release the stress for them, not add to it.  Making tough decisions is what makes some of us great leaders.

I encourage all leaders to read the article published by The American Management Association titled "Companies See Need to Build Analytical Skills in Their Organization" because it  increases awareness of this very known fact -- leaders see analytics as an important skill for the future.

​​Fontenot & Associates Solutions (FAS) was established to support and build the skillset of not only Accounting professionals in the Oil & Gas industry but all of our professionals who are seeking advancement as an individual in a team environment.  We have the hands-on experience, knowledge and skillset to support the monthly deadlines, training and accounting software implementations. 

    we are glad you stopped by!
