Disputes, whether big or small, can become a reality.

We pride ourselves on delivering expert, objective, reasoned and logical advice. Whether the matter involves a matrimonial breakdown, business or share acquisition, or assessment of economic loss, you can rely on us for personalised solutions to safeguard your economic interests and inject confidence in your financial future.

Commercial disputes

Forensic accounting requires unique skills and competence – comprehension, evaluating counter-factual scenarios, understanding complex arrangements and providing clear and reasoned opinions. We provide first-class service and quality opinions based on sound reasoning and objective analysis.

Family law disputes

The value of a business to its owner is often uncertain and may not be the same as its market value. We frequently act on joint instructions to provide our opinion of the value of a business to its owners and assist parties to understand the value of equity in entities which they control. Such work requires empathy for the parties, and a clear understanding of needs of the Family Courts and of valuation principles.

Independent expert services

We provide high-quality, objective reports for use in court and offer expert testimony on accounting negligence, economic loss, business valuations, and pricing. Our experienced team have published numerous opinion reports and has provided evidence in courts across Australia.

Investigations

Courts can rely on expert evidence. But the evidence of one expert can be contested. Providing expert forensic investigation services involves getting to the substance of transactions, understanding their significance, and explaining their meaning in a way that meets a Court’s needs. Without fear or favour, providing forensic investigation services requires a high level of accounting skills, and an inquiring mind to analyse, distil and report. We provide expert forensic investigation services in a range of commercial and family circumstances.
