Forensic Accounting & Financial Investigation
Conducted a structured forensic accounting review involving the examination, reconciliation, and analysis of financial records to assess reported income, financial capacity, discretionary spending, and potential undisclosed assets.
The engagement involved reviewing payroll records, W-2 information, pay stubs, transaction-related evidence, and supporting financial documentation. Financial information was extracted into structured analysis tables and subjected to arithmetic reconciliation, consistency checks, and red-flag analysis.
Key Areas of Work:
1. Reconstructed and evaluated reported employment income across multiple periods.
2. Reconciled W-2 wage information with available payroll and pay-stub records.
3. Analyzed year-to-date earnings and developed preliminary annualized income projections.
4. Examined significant discretionary financial activity and evaluated its relevance to financial capacity.
5. Reviewed vehicle, banking, credit, and potential property/entity information as leads for further asset investigation.
6. Examined documents for arithmetic inconsistencies, formatting irregularities, withholding anomalies, and other indicators requiring source verification.
7. Developed a structured forensic reconstruction approach for tracing payroll, bank transactions, funds movement, and potential asset transfers.
8. Identified additional records and verification procedures necessary to strengthen the evidentiary foundation.
Analytical Outcome:
The completed review organized complex financial evidence into a structured forensic framework, highlighting documented income, significant financial activity, potential discrepancies, investigative leads, and areas requiring further verification..
The analysis and projections were preliminary and based on the records and assumptions available at the time of review; final conclusions were subject to verification against certified source records.

Hello.
I guess we're in the same page about data analysis and visualization
Excel PivotTable — Sales Summary
Client had raw sales data (14 rows across UK/USA, split by quarter) and needed it turned into something actually usable. I cleaned it up and built a PivotTable that breaks total sales down by rep and country, with grand totals for both.
What I did:
Structured the raw data into a proper table (consistent headers, currency formatting)
Built a PivotTable summarizing Sum of Sales by Last Name and Country
Used SUMIFS so the totals update automatically if the source data changes — nothing hardcoded
Checked every formula for errors before delivery
Delivered as a working .xlsx file, ready to plug into a bigger report or dashboard.
