FAQ
Why do you offer Proactive Financial Planning alongside Fraud Investigation?
As a Certified Fraud Examiner (CFE), I view financial clarity as the first line of defense. My expertise in fraud resolution allows me to identify specific financial vulnerabilities, while my Proactive Planning services ensure your systems and budgets are meticulously designed to reduce risk and prevent future fraud. This dual focus provides a comprehensive, secure approach to your financial integrity.
What are your service rates?
I operate with transparent, specialized pricing based on the service required:
​
-
Proactive Planning & Financial Support: My rate for customized budgeting, system design, and mentorship is $50 per hour.
​
-
Fraud Investigation & Assessment: Due to the specialized, investigative nature (evidence collection, interviews, travel, court potential), rates range from $75 to $125 per hour. A specific rate is determined based on the scope and complexity of the initial consultation.
Do you work with individuals, families, or only businesses?
I work with individuals, families, and small businesses, offering personalized services to meet your unique challenges. I am also willing to assist larger organizations, serving as an outside viewpoint with fraud risk assessments and internal investigative issues, often collaborating with existing teams.
Do you offer virtual services or only in-person support?
I offer virtual consultations to clients remotely. For individuals and small businesses in the Nashville Metro area, in-person support is available. I am open to travel for specific investigation or assessment needs.
What is your approach to client interactions and data security?
Your information is treated with the highest level of care and confidentiality. I follow strict security protocols, including secure communication channels and encrypted storage. I approach each situation with empathy, without judgment, and I do not maintain full account numbers or social security numbers.
For example, if you share a bank statement or tax document, I redact those personal identifiers and delete the original. The exception being documents preserved for evidence in a court proceeding.
What related financial services do you not provide?
I am not a licensed Certified Public Accountant (CPA), Public Accountant (PA), or Financial Advisor. I do not provide audit, review, compilation, or investment advice. While I assist with planning and category structuring, I do not offer tax preparation services. This focus allows me to dedicate my expertise entirely to financial management support, fraud prevention, and investigation
Do you handle all types of investigations?
My primary focus is on financial fraud investigations utilizing my expertise as a Certified Fraud Examiner (CFE) and licensed Private Investigator (PI). While I have experience in other areas (sex crimes, robbery, etc.), I specialize in financial matters. If your needs fall outside my expertise, I will connect you with a qualified partner who can assist.
