FRAUD EXAMINATION

Your boutique litigation support team

We sharpen our pencils and roll up our sleeves to help solve mysteries of unjust enrichment.
Our engagements are facilitated through your legal team, whom we work in tandem with on a variety of matters such as:

• Partnership disputes

• Civil cases in mediation or arbitration

• Divorce cases

• Estate and probate cases

• Internal investigations for companies and organizations

• Criminal defense cases

Depending on the case and its objectives, most fraud examinations involve these 4 steps after signing an engagement letter through your retained counsel:

1. Diagnose:
   Initial review of financial books and records available to assess the potential existence of fraudulent activity, followed by a consultation on the direction of the engagement, including establishing the objectives and deliverables.

2. Detect:
   Diving deep into the records to search for the “red flag” indicators of internal or external fraud schemes utilizing forensic accounting methodologies. Our team uses modern techniques and technologies to streamline investigations.

3. Dissect:
   Our team will continue the fact-finding mission by conducting interviews with key witnesses, issuing document requests, etc., while we further examine the elements of the “red flags” detected, carefully performing various complex data analyses.

4. Deliver:
   Producing fact-based findings reports for your legal team, as well as expert witness testimony for litigation as needed.

OUTSOURCED ACCOUNTING MANAGEMENT

Your boutique bookkeeping team

TURNKEY BOOKKEEPING

Outsourcing provides the most equitable solution for ensuring that the job gets done to small business owners. We take essential accounting management tasks off of your plate, like bookkeeping and bank reconciliations. We’ll supplement any positions vacant on staff or support your in-house team's workflow by providing oversight for the bookkeeping proceedures.

PAYROLL & SALES TAX

We may be engaged to manage the sales tax returns and tax payments for our business clients located in Texas. For those who have e-commerce sites or have nexus in other jurisdictions, we utilize apps like TaxJar.com to ensure the returns are filed properly and on time. We may also be engaged to oversee the timely filing of payroll tax returns and reports, as well as the timely remittance of tax payments.

METHODS

Our firm specializes in cloud-based accounting, which uses softwares like QuickBooks Online or Xero to manage your bookkeeping. We will also work with you to re-organize your standard operating procedures by providing advice on how to implement the best practices for your unique operational needs. If you aren’t yet on a cloud-based accounting software, let us help you set that up. If you are already using one but want to convert to Xero, we are your migration experts and will help manage the process for you.

For small businesses, an ERP is not a practical solution. Utilizing smaller, more cost-effective tools that sync data together to build a network of operations is an ideal solution. This includes project management systems, inventory management systems, point of sale systems, data storage solutions, etc. Pairing them with your cloud-based accounting system will save time, and reduce the rate of human error associated with common data entry tasks. We will work with your team to establish the optimal workflow to ensure the highest level of efficiency is met to properly use the resources at your disposal and to facilitate your company's growth.
