Forensic Accounting Support for Solicitors & Barristers
We work exclusively with legal professionals and their clients across Australia. If you are briefing a forensic accounting expert witness or need independent financial analysis to support litigation, we can help.
How We Work With Legal Teams
Our role is to make your job easier. From preliminary case review through to expert report and testimony, we integrate with your legal strategy and deliver findings that are clear, defensible, and built for cross-examination.
Free Preliminary Review
Before you commit to a formal brief, we offer a complimentary preliminary review of your matter. This helps you understand the forensic accounting issues early, assess the strength of the financial evidence, and avoid surprises down the track. There is no obligation and no cost.

Once all relevant information is received, we deliver expert reports within 3 to 5 weeks. We will tell you upfront if that timeframe needs to vary based on matter complexity.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do you act for plaintiffs and defendants?
Yes. We act for both plaintiff and defendant solicitors and maintain strict independence in all engagements.
Can you provide a shadow expert opinion without a formal report?
Yes. We offer shadow expert assistance where you need forensic accounting analysis behind the scenes to assess an opposing expert's report or inform legal strategy, without the cost of a formal expert report.
What do you need to start a preliminary review?
Typically the pleadings or a brief summary of the matter, plus any key financial documents already on the file. We will tell you what else we need after the initial discussion.
Can you meet deadlines set by the court?
Yes. If you have a court-imposed deadline, tell us at the outset and we will confirm whether we can meet it before you commit.
