Forensic Accounting

Lyle & Associates was founded in 1989 in Chagrin Falls, Ohio. In addition to traditional accounting and tax services, we perform business valuations and provide a complementary service focused on engagements that result from actual or anticipated disputes or litigation: Forensic Accounting.

Detecting embezzlement and other white collar crime
