Forensic Accounting
Investigative accounting for fraud, disputes, and financial irregularities.
What we deliver
We investigate suspected fraud, quantify losses, and produce defensible findings for management, counsel, regulators, and courts.
We deliver forensic accounting services that combine investigative procedures, data analytics, and accounting expertise. Our team handles asset misappropriation reviews, financial statement fraud investigations, vendor and procurement schemes, payroll abuse, and revenue recognition concerns. We work with general counsel, audit committees, and external law firms under privilege when required. Engagements include evidence collection, document review, interviews, journal entry testing, and reconciliation of bank, ledger, and source records. We quantify damages, prepare loss schedules, and produce written findings that hold up under cross-examination. Our work supports civil litigation, criminal referrals, insurance claims, regulator inquiries from the IRS, HMRC, CRA, or ATO, and internal disciplinary actions. We also assist with whistleblower hotline triage, anti-fraud program design, and post-incident control remediation. All findings are documented to US GAAP, IFRS, UK FRS 102, and applicable jurisdictional standards.

What clients say
My books were 90 days behind and I was avoiding my accountant. They cleaned up nine months of mis-categorized Shopify and Stripe entries, set up proper rules in QuickBooks, and now my close lands on day four of every month. First time in three years I opened a P&L without wincing. Cash forecasting actually makes sense now.
We were drowning in tier-one tickets about password resets and appointment changes. They built a deflection layer on top of our help desk and kept their agents in the loop for anything sensitive. Volume to humans dropped 58 percent in two months and our patient NPS held steady. The hybrid handoff is the part most vendors get wrong. They did not.
