Forensic Accounting & Litigation Support

It's estimated that most organizations lose around 5% of their revenue to fraud each year, according to a recent report from the Association of Certified Fraud Examiners. This discovery in itself highlights the need for Certified Fraud Examiners and forensic accountants in your organization.

A forensic accountant is an accounting professional who works to investigate financial fraud within a company. A forensic accountant provides litigation support by means of quantification of damages through accounting practice, financial statement investigation, and auditing. Additionally, one might hire a forensic accountant to further investigate divorce and marital assets, mergers and acquisitions, company audits, contract disputes, insurance claims, embezzlement cases, litigation, and inheritance disputes.

We have previously assisted clients through the assessment of financial merits of a case, responding to interrogatories, assessing the work of other experts, and providing expert testimony at depositions, mediations, arbitrations, and trials. Our litigation support team also has extensive experience both behind the scenes and on the witness stand.

Our litigation support team is retained by leading law firms and their clients to assist with transaction advisory services, fraud investigations, forensic accounting, damages calculations, valuation disputes, and other forms of economic analysis. We'll help you tighten controls and protect your cash flow to prevent future waste and abuse, as well as recommend best practices to implement in your everyday routines to make sure your money is protected for years to come.

Mergers & Acquisitions

Arguably one of the most challenging obstacles for a business owner, mergers and acquisitions can be a difficult task for everyone involved. The goals may seem simple, but each buyer and seller will present different challenges to a fair sale. Additionally, transitions routinely come with a variety of tax-related issues, so it can be critical to have an experienced advisor on hand to dispute those issues and get a deal done fairly and efficiently.

Our team has the experience and resources to make your deal or due diligence as smooth as possible. From family transfers, to large-scale purchases, our personal approach will put your goals and aspirations in the spotlight and our connections will help bring your vision to fruition.

Retirement Planning

Regardless of the stage of life you're in, we are eager to be your trusted financial advisors. Retirement planning is especially important because it establishes a blanket of security and helps to ensure that the ones you love are taken care of too. As your personal accountants, we'll help you plan and navigate any future post-retirement financial needs.

Unfortunately, tax related issues tend to be a big part of any major life moment, retirement included. This may be in part due to the number of moving parts at play during this stage of life, including:

  • Analyzing and understanding which account type is best for saving for retirement
  • Determining how much money you should save up for your retirement
  • Exploring when you should begin receiving your social security benefits
  • Staying mindful of taxable income
  • Reviewing various pension plan options
  • Considering a modified adjusted gross income limit for Medicare purposes
  • Managing a second home or rental property
  • Picking a time and order in which to draw from retirement accounts

Retirement planning can be overwhelming, but our team is committed to making sure that your long-awaited retirement ends up being just as rewarding and stress-free as you always hoped for.
