What Is a Lease Analyst?
Lease analysts review lease contracts to ensure they are accurate and meet the terms of both the company providing the lease and the lessee. They work in a variety of industries, the most common include real estate and auto sales. Lease analysts may also keep track of car or rental property leases, ensuring the payments are made on time and handling disagreements concerning the terms of the contract. Oil and gas lease analysts specialize in terms, rules, and laws related to gas exploration. They draw up purchase contracts or leases with a property owner to gain the rights to explore a potential oil field or gas site. These lease agreements represent the rights of the gas companies to maintain control over oil and gas exploration. Before completing the contracts, oil and gas lease analysts must contact the landowner, survey the property, and interpret the agreements on behalf of their clients. Most lease analysts hold a bachelor’s degree in finance, accounting, business, or a related field, and have experience in the industry they wish to work.
How to Become a Lease Analyst
The primary qualifications for becoming a lease analyst include a bachelor's degree in a field like finance or accounting. You also need some experience with the software the analyst company uses. This can be challenging to get in school, so aspiring lease analysts sometimes seek internships. You can also call local companies to ask what software they use and how they recommend getting training. This is unusual for job-seeking, but it can help you meet their expectations, so it is always worth considering. Fulfilling the responsibilities and duties of a lease analyst requires writing skills, presentation skills, analytical skills, attention to detail, and the ability to summarize complex lease information accurately.
