The ACFE's 2026 Report to the Nations puts the median fraud loss for a small business at $110,000, and most businesses only hire a forensic accountant after the money is already gone.
Traditional financial audits look for compliance, not fraud. Full-scale forensic investigations are reactive, disruptive, and expensive. The gap between those two is where proactive, fixed-fee forensic screening lives.
Most businesses only hire a forensic accountant after the money is already gone. That's a very expensive way to find out your internal controls were broken. In fact, the recently released 2026 ACFE Report to the Nations says the median loss for a small business is $110,000. Can your business afford to lose that?
Traditional financial audits look for compliance, not fraud. And full-scale forensic investigations? They are reactive, disruptive, and worst of all, expensive. But what if you are a growing business and you just want to know if your financial guardrails are actually working?
Enter the proactive Financial Health Check. Instead of waiting for a crisis, we apply advanced forensic data methodologies to your everyday financial operations to catch the leaks before they become a flood. We don't sample your data; we analyze 100% of it.
Phantom Vendor Sweeps: we cross-reference your vendor master files directly against employee records, like addresses and bank routing numbers, to catch fake entities set up to bill you for ghost services.
Temporal Analysis: we parse timestamps to isolate off-hours processing, weekend approvals, and unusual spikes in transaction velocity that indicate someone is bypassing controls.
Conflict Matching: we identify structured, split payments deliberately designed to slide just beneath your management approval thresholds.
The best part? It's completely removed from the traditional billable-hour model. A rapid, fixed-fee engagement, no hourly surprises, no disruptive office interviews. Just a high-speed diagnostic that gives you a clear, actionable report card on your organization's financial integrity.
