About SJS Forensic Advisory
About SJS Forensic Advisory
I'm Stefanie Jedra Sollecito, the founder of SJS Forensic Advisory. I started this firm with a simple but powerful goal: to provide clients with a more personalized, high-quality approach to forensic accounting, business valuation, and litigation support.
After over a decade working at other firms, I recognized that I had an opportunity to deliver services in a way that truly prioritizes the client experience - through clear communication, transparent pricing, and unwavering attention to quality.
At SJS Forensic Advisory, I’m committed to delivering the best experience to my clients. I work directly with all of my clients, providing thoughtful, efficient, high-quality work.
I strive to provide transparent pricing and offer fixed-fee options for certain services - an approach that's almost unheard of in this specialized industry - because I believe trust starts with honesty.
When you work with SJS Forensics, you can expect personal attention, thoughtful analysis, and financial clarity. That's the foundation SJS Forensics is built on.

Pricing
Fixed-Fee Pricing for Greater Predictability
SJS Forensics is pleased to offer fixed-fee pricing exclusively to assist with settlement negotiations conducted through mediation. Our fixed-fee pricing options provide settlement-minded clients with clear, upfront costs for select services, eliminating the uncertainty of traditional hourly billing. This approach fosters greater predictability, improves budgeting, and reflects our commitment to delivering exceptional value without unexpected fees. Our fixed-fee structure covers the analysis, preparation, and participation required for mediation discussions. Should the scope of services expand beyond the initial framework, any additional work will be discussed in advance and billed separately.
Income and Cash Flow Analysis
Income and cash flow analysis is the process of evaluating an individual’s or business’s financial records to determine true earnings, spending patterns, and available cash. This analysis is critical to accurately assess support obligations, equitable distribution, or financial capacity. A thorough cash flow analysis ensures that financial decisions are based on complete, reliable information, providing financial clarity.

Business Valuation
Business valuation is the process of determining the value of a business based on its financial performance, assets, liabilities, and market conditions.

A credible, well-supported business valuation provides a foundation for informed negotiations and settlement discussions, helping to protect your financial interests.
Simple

* When both a Business Valuation and Cash Flow Analysis are needed for the same matter, we offer a bundled service discount. Combining these services allows for a more efficient review of financial information and a cohesive analysis, resulting in a cost savings to our clients. Please contact us for customized bundled pricing based on the specific needs of your case.
** For fixed-fee engagements, any work that falls outside the agreed-upon scope may be subject to additional charges, with all out-of-scope services discussed and approved in advance.
Hourly Billing for Complex or Litigious Matters
While we strive to offer fixed-fee pricing whenever possible, certain matters - particularly those involving litigation or unpredictable developments - require a more flexible approach. For these engagements, we offer hourly billing to ensure that clients receive the necessary support as their needs evolve. We maintain detailed time records and clear communication throughout the process to ensure transparency, trust, and accountability.
