Rich Holstrom is a veteran at solving the unique economic puzzles inherent in forensic accounting engagements.

Working with insurance companies and law firms on both the defense and plaintiff side, Rich approaches the challenge of each case or claim with a 360-degree view — looking at the full picture of the engagement before venturing into the details.

With more than 30 years of experience in forensic accounting, Rich has served as an expert in hundreds of disputes involving the quantification of business and personal damages resulting from fraud schemes, personal injury or wrongful death, intellectual property infringement, including patent, trademark, copyright and trade secrets, breach of contract, business valuation and contract disputes.

Rich assists clients in unraveling the data and making it easier for nonfinancial clients to understand the finer points of the financial analysis. He has measured financial losses for business interruption claims in a wide range of industries, including manufacturing, retail and professional services, and has conducted business valuations in the context of family law, buy/sell and litigation matters.
