Whether your investments are in the deep gulf, onshore, or somewhere around the globe, the AMS-PAR team has the experience to evaluate whether billings, production allocations, or revenues were properly recorded.  Survey results consistently rate our staff and processes above others.  Our professional staff will provide your firm the consistency and higher level of assurance that you deserve from a trusted advisor.

SherWare is an oil and gas accounting software company that helps operators, non-operators and joint ventures track their distributions, joint interest billings and investments.

We pride ourselves on making oil and gas accounting easy, and yes, we’ve been around a long time (more than 25 years). If we learned anything with COVID, it was that the oil and gas industry needs to be flexible.

It’s why we offer full-service migration from other platforms, let you directly import all of your data into the software, let you only add the features you actually need and do it all for one flat, monthly rate, with no surprises. There are no annual fees. We have top-notch customer support and the software is so easy to use, we could teach your kid (or grandkid, no joke!).  — and we’re the only software on the market that can integrate with your QuickBooks company.

Not only do we handle everything you’d expect and oil and gas distribution software to manage, but we also allow you to directly import data into the software, have more than 300+ built-in reports, and the ability to create any custom report you can dream up. We have direct deposit for all owners, online reporting so you can go paperless and the ability to run multiple distributions at the same time.  On average it takes 34 days to get a new client converted and up and running on our software, plus we give you the option to spread your investment out over monthly payments instead of all up front.
