YBR provides financial forensics, blockchain forensics, and digital forensics.  Financial forensics is a broad term for financial analysis related to litigation and disputes.  It includes asset tracing, post-separation accounting, discovery assistance, and more. This industry is known in some states as financial forensics and as forensic accounting in others.  Blockchain forensics involves the analysis of blockchain transactions, assets, or entities as it relates to litigation and disputes.  Digital forensics is the process of gathering data stored on a device (computer, tablet, mobile phone, the cloud, etc.); it results in files known as images, which are forensically sound, bit-for-bit, copies of a device (file types include .dd, .e01, and others but definitely do not include .jpg or .png- that's a different kind of image).  

YBR is does not provide attestation services, tax advice, or investment advice and is not a CPA firm.
