Your data structure feels a little weird to me - Presumably accounts have multiple companies. So does someone with role_id == 1 own all the companies in the account that the company_id points to? It feels a little lopsided to have this one privileged company. I think personally I would give account an owner_id attribute. Anyway, assuming that users will grow rapidly but that an account will only ever have a manageable number of companies in it, something like all_companies_in_account = current_user.company.account.companies owner = User.find_by_role_id_and_company_id(1, all_companies_in_account) would find you the owner.
