Breaking the Mold – Making Forensic Accounting More Approachable
Historically, forensic accounting firms have adhered to one traditional billing model—hourly.
The problem is that typical rates for reputable companies offering these services can feel intimidating. Clients have limited foresight into how much time (and how much of their money) will be spent analyzing their financial records.
There’s a better way—a way that can help clients access expert services without the stress of unpredictable costs.
Let’s have a look:
If you’re dealing with financial concerns—maybe in a divorce or a small-business dispute—you likely already have a gut feeling that something’s off. Validating this suspicion would be a major milestone of a forensic investigation. This would require collecting the necessary records, analyzing them for signs of unusual or suspicious activity, and determining a course of action based on what the evidence reveals.
Treating this entire process as a single step with one fixed cost not only simplifies the process but also provides clarity upfront. Clients get actionable insights with no surprises.
The results of that process dictate what happens next:
If red flags surface, a tailored plan of action and investigation can be presented to the client that aligns with the specific needs of the case.
If red flags DO NOT surface, the client moves forward with confidence and peace of mind.
This begins to give clients clarity and answers without the daunting uncertainty of billable hours.
We’ve discovered this adds an unprecedented degree of confidence and approachability for new clients and for that reason alone this is how we structure nearly every new case.
