SDS Petroleum Consultants назначила Митчелла Маккоя новым финансовым директором

SDS Petroleum Consultants, one of the largest oil and gas consulting firms in the United States, has announced the appointment of Mitchell McCoy, CPA, as chief financial officer. McCoy, a 2007 graduate of Nacogdoches High School, succeeds longtime CFO Ken Goolsby, CPA, who is retiring after more than 25 years of service to the company. A Nacogdoches native, McCoy completed his education at Stephen F. Austin State University in 2011, earning both a bachelor of business administration in accounting and a master of professional accountancy. He began his accounting career locally before moving to Longview in 2013 to join Curtis Blakely & Co. as a staff accountant. During his career with Curtis Blakely & Co., McCoy advanced through positions of increasing responsibility and was named a partner in 2022, prior to the firm’s merger with a large middle-market accounting firm. He joined SDS in January 2026 as Controller. Since joining SDS, McCoy has worked closely with management on financial reporting, analysis, forecasting and strategic planning. His transition to CFO provides continuity while bringing new leadership to the financial operations of one of the nation’s largest oil and gas consulting firms. “We are excited about Mitchell taking on this role and the future of SDS,” said Scott Stovall, founder and president of SDS Petroleum Consultants. “He has quickly become an important part of our leadership team, and we believe his experience and knowledge of SDS position him well to build on the foundation Ken established.” McCoy currently resides in Henderson with his wife, Lauren, and their two children. He credits much of his personal and professional success to his parents, Scott and Tina McCoy of Nacogdoches, and the values they instilled in him from an early age. His mother spent her career as an educator, while his father was an entrepreneur. McCoy says their commitment to education, hard work and continuous improvement had a lasting influence on him and continues to shape his approach to both his career and personal life. McCoy succeeds Goolsby, who has been associated with SDS since 1999 and has served as CFO since 2018. With more than 40 years of accounting and financial experience, including extensive work with oil and gas companies, Goolsby provided financial leadership during a period of significant growth for SDS and helped establish the financial discipline and stability that supported the company’s expansion. “Ken has been an important part of SDS for more than 25 years, and we are extremely grateful for his contributions,” Stovall said. “His financial leadership and steady guidance have helped shape SDS into the company it is today. We wish him the very best in retirement.” As McCoy assumes his new role, he looks forward to building upon the strong financial foundation established by Goolsby while helping guide SDS through its next chapter of growth.
