It’s out by £40,000 and nobody can say where.
Reconciliations, reconstructions and financial investigations: methodical, documented and readable by the people who have to act on the answer. Analytical support for you and your advisors, not regulated legal, tax or audit advice.
What the job looks like
Statements, ledgers, exports: whatever exists, however messy. Redacted where it needs to be.
We rebuild the trail transaction by transaction and test where it breaks. Every finding traces to a source line.
A findings report a non-accountant can read, the working papers behind it, and an evidence pack if it’s headed somewhere formal.
What changes
- The difference, explained line by line
- A timeline that stands up to questioning
- Evidence organised for your advisors
- An answer to “where did it go?”

Financial Reconciliation
Matches records between systems (bank to ledger, sales to receipts, statements to invoices) and documents every difference until the gap is explained.
“The bank says one thing, the books say another, and nobody knows which is right.”
Ask us about this →Automated Reconciliation Frameworks
Builds a repeatable reconciliation process (matching rules, exception reports, run-it-monthly tooling) so the same painful reconciliation never has to be done by hand again.
“We do this same reconciliation every month and it eats two days every time.”
Ask us about this →Bank Account Reconstruction
Rebuilds a complete picture of account activity from fragmentary records (old statements, scans, ledger entries) into one continuous, verified timeline of money in and out.
“The records are in pieces and we need to know what actually happened with this account.”
Ask us about this →Divorce Financial Analysis
Analyses financial disclosure in divorce proceedings (such as Form E documents, bank statements and asset schedules) to test completeness and consistency and to organise the picture clearly.
“I’m sure the disclosure doesn’t show everything but I can’t work through thousands of transactions myself.”
Ask us about this →Settlement Scenario Modelling
Models what different settlement structures mean for each party over time (lump sums, staged payments, asset splits, pension offsets) so decisions rest on numbers rather than guesses.
“I can’t tell which offer actually leaves me better off in ten years’ time.”
Ask us about this →Probate & Deceased Estate Investigations
Works through a deceased person’s financial records to establish what the estate holds, what moved before and after death, and whether anything needs a closer look.
“We’re meant to be winding up the estate but nobody can even say what’s in it.”
Ask us about this →Body Corporate & Sectional Title Investigations
Investigates the finances of a body corporate or residents’ association (levies, spending, reserves, contractor payments) when owners want to know where the money has gone.
“The levies keep going up and the accounts never quite explain why.”
Ask us about this →Service-Charge Accounts Review
Reviews leasehold service-charge accounts and demands against the underlying invoices and the lease, so leaseholders can see whether they’re being charged fairly.
“The service charge keeps rising and the paperwork never adds up to the amount demanded.”
Ask us about this →Small Business Due Diligence
Investigates the real financial state of a small business before you buy it: testing claimed revenue, margins and customer numbers against bank data and source records.
“I’m about to bet my savings on this business and I only have the seller’s word for the numbers.”
Ask us about this →Audit Support
Does the heavy data preparation that audits demand (sampling, schedules, reconciliations, document retrieval) so your audit runs faster and your team keeps doing their jobs.
“Every audit season the whole office grinds to a halt for a month.”
Ask us about this →Duplicate Payment Detection
Scans your payment history for duplicates (same invoice paid twice, same supplier under two names, overlapping subscriptions) and quantifies what’s recoverable.
“With this many invoices flying around, I’d be amazed if we haven’t paid some twice.”
Ask us about this →Evidence Packs & Exhibit Bundles
Turns a mess of statements, emails, invoices and records into an organised, indexed, cross-referenced evidence pack that your advisors can use.
“I have all the proof — it’s just scattered across five years of paperwork and email.”
Ask us about this →Chronology & Timeline Building
Reads through documents, statements and correspondence to build a dated, sourced chronology of what happened and when: the backbone of any investigation or dispute.
“Everyone remembers events differently and the truth is buried in the paperwork.”
Ask us about this →Disclosure & Discovery Review
Works through large disclosure or discovery sets (sorting, deduplicating, categorising and flagging the documents that matter) so review time goes on judgement, not sorting.
“They’ve buried us in documents and we can’t afford to have a lawyer read every page.”
Ask us about this →Cross-System Reconciliation Investigations
Investigates why two systems that should agree don’t (CRM versus invoicing, stock versus sales, payroll versus bank) and traces the differences to their root causes.
“The two systems have never agreed and everyone has just learned to live with it.”
Ask us about this →Missing Money Investigations
The 'where did it go’ service: traces funds through accounts, entities and time until the movement of money is either explained or the unexplained residue is precisely defined.
“The money definitely came in — it just isn’t there any more and no one can tell me why.”
Ask us about this →Tell us what doesn’t add up.
Send the discrepancy: we’ll trace where it went sideways.
