Forensic accounting

Economic damages calculation support

Economic damages calculation support from Finbryn builds the lost-profits workpapers behind a US claim: a but-for scenario grounded in the business's own financial history, a damages period isolated from unrelated results, and an assumptions log stating every judgment call. A senior reviewer reviews the model before it reaches counsel.

What is included

• A but-for financial scenario built from the business's own pre-event history
• A damages-period schedule isolating the exact window at issue
• A written assumptions log stating every judgment call in plain language
• Supporting exhibits tying each figure to a source document
• A summary schedule for a filing, demand letter, or mediation binder
• Component-level schedules where the claim has more than one damages theory
• A reconciliation of the pre-event baseline to bank and tax records
• Revised schedules turned around against the case's own deadlines

The process

1. 1.

   Scoping call

   We cover the claim, the event date, the records available, and the deadline, usually with the attorney of record, to fix the scope before any modeling starts.

2. 2.

   Financial history collection

   Two to three years of pre-event statements, tax returns, and internal reports are gathered and reconciled to bank and card records wherever possible.

3. 3.

   But-for model build

   Revenue and cost trends from the pre-event period are projected across the damages window, adjusted only for documented factors, never a target figure.

4. 4.

   Damages period isolation

   The window affected by the event at issue is bounded precisely, separating it from unrelated periods before and after.

5. 5.

   Assumptions log

   Every growth rate, margin assumption, and cost-classification decision is written down in plain language alongside the model, not reconstructed later.

6. 6.

   Senior review

   A senior reviewer reviews the model, schedules, and log together before delivery to counsel.

7. 7.

   Revisions through the matter

   Schedules are updated as new documents surface or the dispute narrows, on the case's own timeline rather than a fixed cycle.

Quality control

A senior reviewer reviews the full package, model, schedules, and log together, before it goes to counsel, and we stay available for revisions as the matter proceeds toward a filing, a mediation, or a trial date.
