In-House Forensic Accountant
ATTENTION: LITIGATORS
For IP matters, you use Patent Agents. For techology matters, you use eDiscovery experts. For the financial components of a litigation matter, engage an In-House Forensic Accountant as your consulting expert.
The Benefits of Hiring An In-House Forensic Accountant
Most litigation matters have a financial component yet financial experts are usually only consulted when testifying expert is required.
Attract clients by adding a puzzle piece to the litigation team, in this case, the specialized knowledge of a forensic accountant.
Understand the financial aspect of each case earlier, resulting in stronger litigation strategy.
There is no out-of-pocket cost to the litigation group and a more cost effective solution for your client; the In-House Forensic Accountant is, essentially, “on staff”. Only testifying experts would be externally hired, if necessary.
Strengthen your in-house expertise and talent base and use your extended capabilities as a benefit and differentiator in client acquisition.
What is In-House Forensic Accounting?
An innovative way to engage financial experts early in a litigation matter.
An “in-house” approach means that
you can integrate the expertise of a
forensic accounting consultant with
the day-to-day business of a litigation
group, advising and assisting the
development of litigation strategy and
throughout the litigation process.
A monthly retainer provides access to a highly skilled forensic accountant at a reasonable rate. You get cost certainty for your clients and pass the cost on as a disbursement.
An In-House Forensic Accounting Scenario
Does your firm need one?
Let’s say that you have a case and need about five hours of time from a forensic accountant to assess the financial aspects of the matter.
You may not engage a forensic accountant because it is a small issue and decide the trouble of finding and engaging a forensic accountant is not worth it.
You probably still need it, though, and your client may suffer if you don’t enage one.
Now let’s say your colleague down the hall has a similar need on a different matter. In fact, your colleague has a handful of matters and they could use a few hours of financial help, too.
