Frequently asked questions

What is a business loss expert or forensic accountant?expand_more

A business loss expert (often a CPA with forensic credentials such as CVA, ABV, or CFF) quantifies economic damages such as business interruption, lost profits, extra expense, inventory, or valuation disputes for insurance claims, mediation, appraisal, or litigation. They translate accounting records into defensible models and, when retained as an expert witness, explain findings under oath.

Do you work with attorneys, insurance companies, or only business owners?expand_more

We support all three. Counsel retains us for expert reports and testimony; carriers and TPAs retain us for technical review and reserve documentation; owners and operators retain us for proof-of-loss packages and claim narratives. We document assumptions so conclusions are credible regardless of retaining party.

How quickly can you start on a business interruption or lost-profits matter?expand_more

Urgent matters can often begin within a few business days after conflict clearance and a signed engagement. Timelines depend on data access, state and federal court deadlines, appraisal or arbitration schedules, and whether a preliminary memo or full expert report is required. Contact intake with your loss date and forum so we can propose a phased work plan.

What should I prepare before the first call?expand_more

If available: policy or complaint excerpts, financial statements for baseline periods, POS or ERP exports, payroll summaries, and a short chronology of the loss event. Do not send privileged materials until counsel confirms transmission channels. We will issue a tailored request list after scoping.
