In this 'Pro'file, Solomon tells Employment Review how forensic accountants use their expertise and go beyond the books to foil the white-collar criminal every time. He's someone who does investigative accounting work. Sometimes you have to go beyond even looking at documents to determine if they are authentic or properly authorized and things like that.

We've also done some work for the Justice Department in the case of an individual who was charged with numerous counts of money laundering. They had settled with this man for a significant amount of money.
