Services Designed for
Financial Clarity
Three focused areas of practice, each delivered with methodical attention and thorough documentation.
Return HomeOur Service Areas
We provide three distinct services, each addressing specific financial examination needs. While our methodology remains consistent across all engagements, the application differs based on whether you need forensic investigation, fraud detection systems, or litigation support.
Each service is priced to reflect the level of work required to meet professional standards for that type of engagement. Pricing accounts for the documentation requirements, analysis depth, and deliverables appropriate to each service area.
Below you'll find detailed information about each service, including what it delivers, who it serves, and what investment is required. If your needs don't fit neatly into these categories, we can discuss a customized approach.

How Engagements Proceed
1. Initial Discussion
We discuss your matter to understand what questions need answering and what constraints exist. This conversation is confidential and helps determine whether our services would be appropriate.
2. Scope and Pricing
We propose specific scope based on your needs and provide transparent pricing. You receive a clear explanation of what we'll do, what deliverables you'll receive, and what the engagement will cost.
3. Engagement Agreement
Once scope and pricing are agreed, we execute an engagement letter documenting our understanding. This protects both parties and ensures clarity about expectations and deliverables.
4. Execution and Communication
We conduct the examination according to the agreed scope, communicating regularly about progress and any issues that arise. If scope adjustments become warranted, we discuss these before proceeding.
5. Delivery and Support
We deliver findings in the format appropriate for your needs, explain our methodology and conclusions, and remain available to address questions or provide additional support as matters develop.
Questions About Our Services
How do you determine pricing?
Pricing reflects the scope of work required to address your questions properly. We consider the volume of records, complexity of transactions, timeline requirements, and deliverables needed. Pricing is discussed upfront before engagement begins.
Can scope be adjusted during engagement?
Yes. If examination reveals that additional work is warranted or that planned work is unnecessary, we discuss scope adjustments with you before proceeding. Changes to scope and pricing require mutual agreement.
Do you handle matters outside these three service areas?
These are our primary service areas, but we can discuss matters that don't fit neatly into these categories. If your needs fall outside our expertise, we'll tell you directly rather than attempting work we're not qualified to perform.
What if we're unsure which service we need?
An initial discussion helps determine which service area is appropriate. We can explain how each service would address your situation and recommend the approach that fits your needs and constraints.
Do you work with legal counsel?
We frequently work alongside legal counsel, particularly in litigation support engagements. We coordinate with attorneys to ensure our work addresses the relevant issues and meets requirements for legal proceedings.
