What is Forensic Accounting?
Forensic Accountants combine the skills and services of an Auditor, an Investigator and a Forensic Analyst. In an increasingly complex and litigious business world these such services are frequently required to provide expert testimony in court for litigation support and to resolve disputes across a range of areas from personal injury claims to matrimonial disputes, fraud investigations and interruptions in business. “Forensic Accounting” provides an accounting analysis that is suitable to the court which will form the basis for discussion, debate and ultimately dispute resolution.
As Forensic Accounting specialists, with over 10 years experience our managing partner has a wealth of knowledge in a broad range of litigation cases, expert witness reporting and presentation and the negotiation of settlements. Equally critical is our ability to respond immediately and to communicate financial information clearly and concisely. Forensic Accountants are trained to look beyond the numbers and deal with the business reality of the situation.

Having got to know the company through the BNI we decided it was time to change accountant. What impressed me about Avid Partners was their professionalism. Their attention to detail was second to none and as an added bonus they are a sounding board to all of my questions. Avid also potted some irregularities in my accounts from the previous few years and saved me substantial money on the years tax bill. Avid Partners deliver a first class service which is everything you could want from an accountant and I am happy to give this endorsement.

I met Avid Partners through a local business networking group. We had been using the same accountants for years and found that in these harsh economic times that we were not getting good enough value or service. We were very impressed by the company's professionalism and enthusiasm and genuine interest in helping us get the most out of our business. As a result we are now clients of Avid Partners and are thrilled with our decision.
