When You Need More Than a Tax Preparer

Most CPA firms handle taxes and bookkeeping. Very few can investigate fraud, testify in court, or set up a compliance hotline. That’s where we come in.

For Attorneys

You need a forensic accountant who can withstand cross-examination and present complex financial evidence clearly. Christy Adams Stephens is recognized as an expert witness in both Arkansas and Louisiana courts — with the CPA, forensic accounting, and fraud examination credentials to back it up.

For Business Owners

Employee theft. Financial statement manipulation. Vendor kickbacks. If you suspect fraud — or want to prevent it — you need a Certified Fraud Examiner, not a general accountant. We investigate, assess your internal controls, and provide the anonymous hotline service your employees need to report safely.
