Forensic.

Consisting of a team of Chartered Accountants, Dains provides a range of forensic accounting services, delivered via a team of senior staff and dedicated partners. With over 25 years of experience, we have experience working in both civil and criminal arenas, offering expert advice and guidance both in the UK and overseas.

What is Forensic Accounting?

Forensic accountants analyse financial records, transactions, and reports to provide expert opinions and support legal proceedings. This area of accounting plays a crucial role in: 

  • Investigating financial misconduct

  • Uncovering hidden assets

  • Quantifying economic damages, and  

  • Presenting findings in a manner suitable for litigation or dispute resolution

Forensic accountants often work in collaboration with law enforcement, attorneys, or corporate entities to ensure financial transparency and integrity. We have also acted in numerous matrimonial matters, covering a wide variety of businesses. We seek to explain clearly the financial issues to aid the settlement of disputes. 

Matrimonial Services

At Dains, we skillfully handle matrimonial disputes with a balance of professional objectivity and empathy, aiming for fair and swift resolutions that benefit the whole family. We delve into dispute specifics, assess settlement feasibilities, and consider tax impacts, offering expert witness services, advice, and support to navigate these challenging situations effectively.
