For Finance controllers, CFOs and owner-led operating companies
Turn suspicious invoice activity into a checked exception schedule.
Turn suspicious invoice activity into a checked exception schedule.You have duplicate charges, altered bank instructions, payments without matching orders or unexplained vendor changes.
Anomalies are not proof of misconduct. But without reconciliation, teams may overpay or accuse the wrong party.
A real person scopes, researches, checks and signs off the evidence work. Technology assists; it does not approve findings.
The decision on your desk
Was the payment exception real, how large is it and what needs independent confirmation?
Your accounts payable records contain similar invoice numbers, repeated amounts and one late payment-instruction change.
Give finance a verifiable amount to investigate rather than a vague suspicion.
Prioritise requests for credit notes, approvals or corrected records.
Document exceptions without prematurely labelling anyone fraudulent.
The actual work
What our people will examine for you.
Each line connects to a material question in your decision. We test what the record supports and what it does not, rather than producing a generic AI summary.
Normalise selected invoice, purchase-order, receipt and payment fields.
Test duplicates by exact and approximate key, amount, date and counterparty.
Reconcile invoices to approved purchase records and selected payment entries.
Identify unexplained supplier master-data or beneficiary changes.
Recalculate the gross exception population, reversals and unresolved exposure.
Distinguish clerical errors, timing differences and genuinely unexplained exceptions.

Questions that matter to your purchase
Is the $2,750 fee fixed?
It is the proposed standard fee for the defined scope, pending final written commercial approval. We confirm the actual facts, jurisdiction, records, permitted work and final terms in writing before accepting it. We never add unapproved work to the bill.
Can I use my own AI system instead?
You can use AI for a preliminary review. What you commission here is human-directed independent source work, documented contrary-evidence testing, dated attribution, reviewed calculations and a defensible evidence handoff. If your internal process can already do that adequately, there may be no reason to buy this service.
Can you investigate a confidential matter?
Start with a short non-sensitive outline. A human reviewer confirms conflict checks, lawful source access, privacy safeguards and an appropriate transfer method before we receive confidential files.
Can my team use the review repeatedly?
Yes, subject to each matter being accepted. Repeat matters may use a reusable written scope and simpler onboarding, where appropriate. Each matter retains its standard approved fee and separate acceptance; no automatic discount or subscription applies.
