#285 - Hidden Assets, Red Flags, and the Truth in the Numbers – with Sara Nanchanatt, CPA/CFF

Hidden Assets, Red Flags, and the Truth in the Numbers – with Sara Nanchanatt, CPA/CFF   On this episode, I talk with Sara Nanchanatt, founder of SN Forensics, about her path into forensic accounting—from an uninspiring audit internship to a transformative Peace Corps experience that ultimately led her to a field blending accounting, law, data analytics, and investigative work. We discuss her move from corporate roles to launching her own firm, and how she built a consulting practice while still working full-time. We also dig into the practical side of forensic accounting, including using AI tools to turn financial documents into analyzable data, staying flexible as investigations evolve, and the importance of maintaining neutrality as an advocate for the truth. Sara also highlights the prevalence of fraud in certain communities, the importance of financial transparency, and red flags financial planners should watch for—especially when working with clients navigating divorce.
