QDRO and Retirement Valuations
Clients occasionally find themselves in financial conflicts that require highly specialized forensic accounting. Left unresolved, these situations often escalate to legal action that presents sensitive, private information in a courtroom arena.
Forensic accounting encompasses general accounting matters, taxation, business valuations and auditing. This complex, detailed type of accounting requires years of experience well beyond standard training.
Capaldi Reynolds & Pelosi’s forensic accounting team has serviced both smaller and larger clients for decades, ranging from small enterprises like farms and fishing boats to larger stock brokerages and trust departments at banks.
Our forensic accounting team examines everything from tax returns to banking deposits and personal lifestyles. In Atlantic County, complex cases may take from 12 to 18 months to conclude; less detailed cases may average six months.
Capaldi Reynolds & Pelosi has been providing forensic accounting, business valuation, damages computations and litigation support services since 1995. Our CPAs have served as expert witnesses and have qualified to testify as expert witnesses in the Federal Courts, the New Jersey Superior Court and the New Jersey Court of Administrative Law. Our CPAs have served as joint experts, court appointed experts, as well as consulting experts.
Since 1995, our CPAs have participated in some of the region’s highest profile criminal and civil litigation, as well as participating in high net worth divorce cases.
Our CPAs working in the litigation support field routinely have advanced degrees, specialized training and accreditation in the areas of business valuation, damages and forensic accounting.
