Honest CPA Review

Why a forensic CPA review is critical in 2026

With over 25 years in forensic accounting and AI systems, I help veterans find what’s often missed in their C-file — the hidden evidence that can make or break a claim.

In 2026, with stronger veteran protections in place, it pays to get honest guidance before choosing any service.

Simple guidance for veterans:

• For initial claims: Handle it yourself or go to a free accredited VSO — it’s usually the best first step.
• If your claim is denied or low-balled: Then it makes sense to look at paid options.

Two main types of non-accredited help:

1. Big box / call-center services — one-size-fits-all, often high volume with multiple hand-offs and little personal attention.
2. Small, personal services from licensed CPAs who follow strict ethical standards and understand current state laws.

I believe the second option usually gives veterans better results, especially on complex or denied claims.
