FAQ
Why do you offer Proactive Financial Planning alongside Fraud Investigation?
As a Certified Fraud Examiner (CFE), I know that financial security requires a "Defense in Depth" approach. My Proactive Planning acts as your First Line of Defense, building resilient budgets and internal controls to stop risk before it starts. My Fraud Investigation expertise is the Second Line of Defense, providing the independent oversight and root cause analysis needed to recover when systems fail. This dual focus ensures you aren't just solving a current problem, but securing your perimeter for the future.
What are your service rates?
I operate with transparent, specialized pricing designed to provide that boutique value without the overhead of a large firm. My clients receive direct, one-on-one access to my 20 years of expertise, ensuring a level of customization that larger guideline-strict firms often cannot provide.

Do you work with individuals, families, or only businesses?
I serve individuals, families, and small businesses, offering personalized services to meet your unique challenges. I am also available to assist larger organizations, serving as an external Subject Matter Expert (SME), providing an "Independent Challenge" to existing fraud risk assessments and internal investigations where an unbiased, third-party perspective is required.
Do you offer virtual services or only in-person support?
I provide virtual consultations and remote support nationwide. For clients in the Nashville Metro area, on-site assessments and in-person support are available. I am available for travel for investigations or complex institutional assessments that require physical evidence collection or on-site interviews.
What is your approach to client interactions and data security?
Your information is managed with the same rigor required of my previous Top Secret Security Clearance. I utilize "Defense in Depth" protocols, including encrypted storage and secure communication channels. My goal is to ensure all documentation is not only secure but audit-ready and legally defensible, all while maintaining a zero-judgement environment for you to address financial vulnerabilities.
What related financial services do you not provide?
To ensure I remain a dedicated specialist in fraud and financial management, I do not provide regulated services such as tax preparation, investment advice, or statutory audits. I am not a CPA or a Financial Advisor. This clear distinction ensures there is no conflict of interest, allowing me to provide unbiased, independent oversight as a fraud specialist.
Do you handle all types of investigations?
My specialty is Financial Fraud Resolution, leveraging my CFE and Private Investigator (PI) credentials. While my 15-year law enforcement career covered a wide range of criminal sectors, I now focus my expertise as it relates to the financial side of investigations. If a case falls outside this scope, I coordinate with a network of qualified partners to ensure you have the right expertise for your specific situation.
Are you available for full-time career roles, or do you only work with clients?
Absolutely. My expertise is scalable. While I find great purpose in helping small businesses secure their financial future through my consultancy, I am always open to exploring high-impact institutional partnerships. Whether it's a dedicated consultancy project or a strategic leadership role within a larger organization, my commitment remains the same: institutional integrity and global fraud resilience.
