Practice Profile
Forensic Accounting Services for Business Valuation

Forensic accounting, by its nature, involves actual or anticipated disputes or litigation. Arxis Financial’s forensic business valuations provide clients with a comprehensible appraisal that carefully considers critical factors in the litigation context.

The specialists in Arxis Financial's "Forensic Accounting" practice have extensive experience in presenting and defending our findings in litigation proceedings, including depositions and trial at local, state and federal court levels, as well as mediation and arbitration. We assist attorneys in interpreting the valuation, and help counsel to understand and analyze events or issues. This level of support can be a key asset in determining a legal strategy as well as reaching a reasonable and efficient conclusion.

Our clients benefit from having valuation professionals who understand the realities of market valuations much better than the purely theoretical practitioners, resulting in very defensible and clear valuations. A key reason that attorneys engage Arxis Financial is our ability to analyze, explain and present financially complex valuation issues, which is an important asset in determining a legal strategy as well as achieving your client’s goals. Our experts are well-known in the industry and highly respected for their depth of knowledge and resources.
