Where I deliver the most value
- Forensic analysis and damages that hold up under scrutiny.
- Fraud detection, controls, and reconciliation discipline.
- Decision framing and accountable ownership.
- Evidence-ready operations that withstand audit and litigation.
How I work
I am brought into complex, high-stakes situations — disputes, investigations, and financial operations under scrutiny — to rebuild clarity from first principles, test what is claimed against the evidence, and produce findings that hold up under pressure. Risk does not respect silos, so I focus on the seams where money, accountability, and documentation break down. The four-step approach is the same on every engagement: discovery, analysis, documentation, handoff.
