JSIII Consulting is a Los Angeles forensic accounting, fraud investigation, and expert advisory practice supporting attorneys, businesses, organizations, courts, and individuals navigating high-stakes financial questions.
Suspected fraud. Accounting irregularities. Damages in dispute. The work begins by following the records — quietly, rigorously, and without assumption — until the financial picture is documented, defensible, and clear.
Every engagement is built around facts, evidence, and professional judgment — framed to support decisions, disputes, and proceedings where credibility is non-negotiable.
Methodical examination of books, transactions, and accounting irregularities to produce findings that hold up under scrutiny.
Discreet investigation of suspected employee, vendor, or financial-statement fraud — documented for action or proceedings.
Independent analysis and expert reports prepared to the standards required in deposition and at trial.
Document review, schedules, calculations, and trial-ready exhibits supporting counsel through every phase of a matter.
Rigorous economic damages, lost profits, and disgorgement analysis grounded in defensible methodology.
Independent assessment of accounting controls, segregation of duties, and the day-to-day workflows where exposure lives.
Targeted fraud risk assessments and prevention frameworks tailored to the organization, its people, and its industry.
Independent analysis in partnership, shareholder, and commercial disputes — translating complexity into clarity.
Specialized advisory support for accounting policy, complex transactions, and matters requiring an independent voice.
Counsel, executives, courts, and individuals all need the same thing from a forensic accountant: independent analysis, documented findings, and a clear voice that translates complex numbers into decisions.
High-stakes financial questions don't get solved by opinion. They get solved by evidence, methodology, and a forensic accountant whose work was built to be examined.
Behind every dispute is a record. The work is patient examination of that record until what occurred is documented and unambiguous.
Findings are anchored in the underlying documents — not assumption, not narrative. The evidence leads; the conclusions follow.
Schedules, transactions, and accounting policy are translated into clear language counsel, courts, and clients can act on.
The deliverable is built for what comes next — negotiation, mediation, deposition, or trial — and engineered to hold up under examination.
Independence, analytical rigor, and clear communication are the discipline this work requires. Credentials are the floor — judgment is what gets retained.
Foundation in the accounting standards, audit methodology, and disclosure rigor every forensic engagement is built on.
Specialized training in fraud schemes, investigative procedure, and evidence handling for matters under or near litigation.
Operational and strategic perspective on how organizations actually work — context that sharpens every investigation.
JSIII Consulting works alongside attorneys, advisors, and executives across Century City, Beverly Hills, Santa Monica, and the broader Los Angeles legal and business community — the environments where high-stakes financial matters are decided.
Engagement details remain confidential. Representative perspectives from counsel and executives are shared below in summary form.
John brought a quiet, methodical rigor to a financial dispute that had stalled for months. The schedules and reports he produced gave us — and the court — something we could finally rely on.
We suspected something was off in the accounting and needed answers without disrupting the business. The investigation was discreet, thorough, and the findings were unambiguous.
An expert who can do the technical work and explain it clearly under examination is rare. John is both. His independence is evident from the first conversation.
John Samore III is a Certified Public Accountant, Certified Fraud Examiner, and MBA who leads JSIII Consulting from Los Angeles. The practice is built around forensic accounting, fraud investigation, expert witness support, and the advisory work that high-stakes financial matters require.
His engagements span attorneys, businesses, organizations, courts, and individuals — translating complex financial records into documented findings that counsel can argue, executives can decide on, and proceedings can rely on.
The role he plays inside an engagement is consistent: independent, analytical, and clear. The work is built to be examined — and to hold up when it is.
"The role of the forensic accountant isn't to take a side. It's to follow the evidence and document what's there — so the people who do have to decide can decide with clarity."
An initial consultation is the simplest way to scope a matter, talk through the facts in confidence, and determine whether JSIII Consulting is the right fit for what you're facing.
