Forensic Accounting & Investigations
Forensic Accounting Services
At Strive Partners, our forensic accounting services are designed to uncover the truth hidden in financial complexity. Whether you’re involved in litigation, facing a contentious dispute, or suspect financial misconduct, we bring clarity, structure, and independence to the process.
What Is Forensic Accounting?
Forensic accounting involves the application of investigative techniques to financial data, often for use in court or formal dispute resolution. Our work is meticulous, objective, and defensible—backed by established methodologies and professional standards.
We assist in civil, commercial, and marital disputes by analyzing financial records, reconstructing transaction histories, and providing expert insight into the movement, use, and disappearance of assets.
Asset Tracing
When assets seem to vanish or are deliberately hidden, our asset tracing services provide the investigative foundation needed to follow the money. We track financial trails through bank records, transactions, corporate structures, and more—both domestic and offshore.
We help with:
- Locating undisclosed accounts or hidden assets
- Reconstructing cash flows and complex transactions
- Investigating suspicious transfers or asset shelters
- Supporting divorce cases, partnership disputes, or fraud claims
- Providing traceable, court-ready documentation
Asset dissipation occurs when one party intentionally depletes marital or business assets—often in anticipation of litigation or divorce. We conduct thorough reviews to identify wasteful, inappropriate, or deceptive use of funds that may impact equitable outcomes.
Our dissipation investigations include:
- Identifying improper spending or asset depletion
- Analyzing large or unusual withdrawals and transfers
- Reviewing lifestyle changes inconsistent with known income
- Reconstructing financial activity to quantify dissipation
- Supporting legal arguments for recovery or adjustment

Neutral Engagements Available
While forensic investigations are often retained by one side in a dispute, we are also available for neutral appointments, where parties agree to jointly engage our team to deliver an objective, shared analysis. This approach fosters transparency and can significantly reduce the cost and adversarial nature of litigation.
