Specialized Accounting
Forensic, valuation, and transaction support
Why this matters
Most accounting work is recurring and rules-based. Some is not. Specialized accounting covers the situations where deep technical expertise, investigative skills, or transaction experience are the difference between a clean outcome and a costly one. Our specialists handle forensic accounting investigations including fraud reviews and asset tracing, business valuations under US, UK, Canadian, and Australian standards, M&A support covering buy-side and sell-side financial diligence, working capital adjustments, and SPA mechanics, plus restructuring, insolvency support, and expert witness work on litigation matters. We work alongside legal counsel, deal advisors, and your existing accounting team rather than replacing them. Each engagement is scoped tightly with clear deliverables, evidentiary standards where applicable, and a senior practitioner accountable for the work. The aim is straightforward expertise applied to non-routine problems where the cost of getting it wrong is high.

Coordinated with your advisors
We work alongside legal counsel, deal advisors, and internal teams, sharing materials and aligning on positions.
Scoped engagements, defined deliverables
