Divorce Forensic Accountant · GTA & Ontario
Lynch & Associates provides forensic accounting and divorce litigation support: business valuation for divorce settlements, asset tracing, Guideline Income Reports and court-qualified expert testimony — prepared by the forensic CPA who will defend every finding in court.
Please note: We are an independent forensic accounting firm — not a law firm. We provide the financial evidence your divorce lawyer builds a case on, not legal advice.
Tell us about the financial issues in your matter — every inquiry is reviewed the same business day. Lawyers may request a confidential case assessment.
Strictly confidential. No obligation.
The Problem
When one spouse controls the business, the books and the banking, the other side negotiates blind. Family lawyers see the same patterns in file after file — and so do we.
A spouse's declared income suddenly drops once separation begins — while the lifestyle carries on unchanged.
Accounts, transfers to relatives, or holdings tucked inside corporations that never appear in the financial disclosure.
The spouse who runs the company claims it's worth little — with no independent valuation to test that claim.
Missing statements, unexplained adjustments and gaps that quietly tilt the Net Family Property calculation.
Questioning, mediation or trial dates approach while the financial picture is still full of holes.
Forensic Accounting & Divorce
Every engagement answers the question a settlement depends on: what are the real numbers? Each report is built to the standard of the Ontario Superior Court — because it may end up there.
When a spouse is self-employed or controls a corporation, the tax return rarely tells the whole story. Our forensic CPA determines true income for support under the Federal Child Support Guidelines.
→ Support based on real income, not reported income
A Chartered Business Valuator determines what a business interest is worth for divorce proceedings — so your divorce settlement reflects the company's real value, not one side's estimate.
→ A defensible valuation the court can rely on
Our forensic financial investigators trace funds through banking, corporate and investment records to surface undisclosed accounts, transfers and holdings — and document each finding as evidence.
→ Undisclosed assets found and proven
When reported income can't explain the lifestyle, we quantify the gap. Spending patterns, cash flows and corporate benefits are analyzed to establish real earning capacity.
→ Income manipulation exposed with evidence
NFP calculations, divorce property valuation support and financial disclosure reviews that identify what's missing, what's misstated, and what it means for equalization.
→ A settlement position built on complete disclosure
Court-qualified forensic accounting testimony backed by extensive Ontario Superior Court experience. Findings that are clear on paper — and hold under cross-examination.
→ Expert evidence that strengthens your case
The Boutique Difference
Large firms sell their size — then hand your file to a junior accountant. At Lynch & Associates, the forensic matrimonial accountant who signs the report is the one who did the analysis, and the one who takes the stand.
