Litigation & Forensic Support

We’re Financial Experts – Legally Speaking

 

We know there is more to business than dollars and cents.  For many business owners, it’s their heart and soul.  This can be most evident when a dispute occurs.  At these times it is important to have one of Central Pennsylvania’s most qualified litigation and forensic accounting support teams on your side.

 

SF&Company, CPAs and Business Advisors can provide your business a comprehensive mix of litigation and forensic accounting services, including embezzlement research and investigations, vendor fraud investigations, and when necessary, expert witness testimony.

 

Litigation support involves the quantification of economic damages pursuant to existing or pending legal matters addressing financial, tax, accounting and auditing issues.  Proper guidance is critical to presenting your point of view. SF&Company’s experienced staff can investigate your matter and compile information efficiently to enhance your ability to use data in a prudent and strategic manner.
