The word “forensic accounting” sounds like something straight out of CSI, but it’s actually used in more practical applications than you might think. In this episode, Theresa sits down with Greg Reagan, a CPA and Founder of forensic accounting firm Reagan FVL, to discuss what exactly a forensic accountant is and why they might be brought into divorce cases.
About Reagan FVL

Some key takeaways from this episode include:
Forensic accountants do everything from fraud investigation to business valuation. They are often brought into a divorce case if there’s a business that needs to be assessed as the separating couple divides their assets.
Forensic accountants are usually retained by an attorney in the divorce case, rather than an individual who is getting divorced. This keeps the forensic accountant’s work confidential until it is needed.
A collaborative divorce is an option for people who are able to have discussions about all aspects of the divorce amicably. A counselor is usually present to help everyone process things emotionally.
