Financial Specialist

Financial Analysis, Business Valuation, Pension Valuation and Forensic Accounting Services Michael Moss is not your typical financial specialist. Certainly his credentials and more than 25 years experience as a Certified Public Accountant demonstrate a technical ability to represent and serve his clients’ best financial interests throughout their divorce. But unlike most numbers people, he approaches clients holistically, understanding them as emotional, spiritual and physical beings.

Michael is a caring practitioner whose compassion and sensitivity allow both husbands and wives to trust and relate to him. During his own divorce, Michael was appalled by the disregard of couples’ relationships he saw in adversarial divorce. Since 2006, he has practiced as a financial specialist, helping people transition to the next stage of their lives, while allowing them to continue healthy relationships with their former spouses. He has successfully applied his expertise as a CPA and business valuation analyst to create financial settlements for scores of collaborative, cooperative and adversarial divorce cases.

By carefully listening to clients, Michael understands the needs and fears of both divorcing spouses. He empowers clients by educating them about their financial issues, guiding them to make the best property settlement choices based on their assets, income and goals. He maintains a belief that no one should walk away regretting their settlement, simply because they were not informed.
