A CPA Who Understands Permian Basin Paychecks
Odessa runs on the oilfield, and oilfield income doesn't look like a tidy W-2. Pumpers, roughnecks, consultants, and hot-shot drivers are often paid on a 1099, which means self-employment tax, quarterly estimated payments, and a long list of deductions — per diem, mileage between well sites, work gear, and equipment — that most tax software handles poorly. A contractor who treats a 1099 like a paycheck usually finds out in April just how expensive that mistake is.
The other Permian reality is the cycle. A strong year of drilling activity can be followed by a slow one, and your tax plan has to flex with it. We build estimated-tax schedules around safe-harbor rules and your actual cash flow, time Section 179 equipment write-offs against high-income years, and help oilfield services owners decide when an S-corp election starts paying for itself.
Because the work runs online, none of this requires a trip across town between hitches. Upload your 1099s and settlement statements from your phone, meet your CPA by video on your day off, and e-sign when the return is ready — whether you're in Odessa, out on location, or working a job two counties away.

Odessa Tax Questions, Answered
Can you handle oilfield per diem and travel deductions?
Yes. If you work as an independent contractor in the oilfield, per diem, lodging away from your tax home, and travel costs are common deductions — and common audit triggers when done sloppily. We document them correctly so the deduction holds up.
My 1099 income swings month to month. How do quarterly estimates work?
Boom-and-bust income is exactly what safe-harbor rules and annualized estimates are built for. We set quarterly payments that track your actual cash flow, so you avoid underpayment penalties without overpaying the IRS in slow months.
Can I write off my truck and the miles I drive between well sites?
Usually, yes. Mileage between well sites, yards, and job locations is generally deductible business travel for a contractor, while your daily commute is not. We help you sort deductible miles from commuting miles and pick between the standard mileage rate and actual vehicle expenses.
I bought equipment for my oilfield services company. How does Section 179 work?
Section 179 and bonus depreciation can let you deduct qualifying equipment — trucks, trailers, pumps, tools — in the year you place it in service instead of depreciating it over years. We run the numbers both ways to see which treatment saves more given your income.
My equipment lender is asking for CPA-prepared financial statements. What does that mean?
It usually means a compilation — your financial statements presented in proper format with a formal CPA report attached — though some lenders want a full review above a certain credit size. Send us the lender's exact request and we'll tell you which level it calls for before you pay for more assurance than they asked for. Our firm carries an AICPA peer review rating of pass, which is what a credit committee is checking for. More on compilation and review engagements.
We've grown from 4 employees to 30. Should I be worried about internal controls?
Almost certainly yes. Oilfield service companies routinely triple headcount while the office stays one bookkeeper who can set up a vendor, cut the check, and reconcile the bank account. That combination is how most small-business fraud happens, and insurance rarely covers it. A Certified Internal Auditor review maps who can do what, flags the gaps, and designs controls that fit your actual staffing. See internal audit and control services.
Do I ever need to visit an office in Odessa?
No. We keep offices in Amarillo and Lubbock, but nothing requires an Odessa client to drive to either one. Everything happens online: you upload documents through the secure DynaTax AI portal, we meet by video or phone, and you e-sign your return from anywhere — the rig, the house, or the road.
