Our Leadership

Paul Parsons is founder and President of Energy Training Resources, LLC. Paul has worked in the oil patch for 27 years. He started his career working 3 years as a business analyst for the world's largest oilfield equipment supplier. Thereafter, he joined one of the largest U.S. independent oil and gas companies where he worked in a progression of financial-related positions. He spent his last seven years as the chief financial officer of that company’s largest business unit. Paul has worked in both domestic and international environments and has worked at various company levels from headquarters to field operations. Paul has also networked across company lines as a long-time member of the Upstream Accounting Subcommittee of the American Petroleum Institute. He was Chairman of that subcommittee from 2005-2007.

Paul has a BBA in accounting from the University of Texas at Austin, an MBA from the University of Houston, and is a Certified Public Accountant. Paul has always been a strong believer in employee development and has obtained additional certifications including Accredited Petroleum Accountant (COPAS program), Certified Management Accountant (CMA) and Certified Treasury Professional (CTP). Paul has also served on the COPAS Board of Examiners that oversees the Accredited Petroleum Accountant program.
