Forensic Precision for Global Portfolios.

15 Years of Forensic Lease Expertise

After more than a decade managing multi-million dollar lease portfolios for industry leaders, I founded Lease & Ledger Advisory to address a critical gap: the disconnect between lease contract obligations and ledger accuracy.

I provide specialized forensic analysis and regulatory compliance expertise for mid-market companies navigating ASC 842 and IFRS 16 standards. My approach bridges the gap between contract compliance and financial reporting. I combine the documentary precision of a Law Clerk with forensic data analysis and bilingual capability to ensure your ledger matches your lease reality.

Risk Mitigation: Over 15 years of regulatory compliance & capital recovery through proactive lease-to-ledger reconciliation.

MY APPROACH

Forensic Precision Meets Practical Solutions

I approach your lease data as a direct financial extension of the legal contract. By combining the documentary discipline of a Law Clerk with modern accounting analysis, I bridge the gap between the written word and the final ledger, identifying costly errors that standard software can overlook.

The Bilingual Advantage

Operating between two worlds—U.S. common law and Quebec civil law, English and French, ASC 842 and IFRS 16—requires technical stewardship, not just bilingualism. Just as technical translation requires more than word substitution, forensic lease analysis requires more than data entry. It demands preserving the contractual truth while ensuring ledger accuracy in any language.

This bilingual, cross-border expertise isn't just a capability—it's a strategic advantage for companies operating in the Florida-Quebec corridor or expanding across North American markets.

The Forensic Mindset

Numbers speak every language. Whether I'm identifying a $27,000 system error or correcting an 80-square-foot billing discrepancy, my mission is singular: ensure your financial data tells the truth. I look beyond what the software assumes to expose the hidden liabilities that automation inherently overlooks.

WHAT SETS ME APART

Forensic Lease Abstraction

Lease compliance demands more than just a spreadsheet. I bring a dual-lens approach—combining Leasing Law Clerk experience with advanced Accounting & Data Analysis studies, and specialized ASC 842 and IFRS Certifications—to interpret complex legal language AND ensure proper financial treatment.

Bilingual Cross-Border Capability

Operating between Florida (ASC 842) and Quebec (IFRS 16) requires technical stewardship, not just translation. I map Civil Law obligations directly to U.S. reporting standards, ensuring that 'hidden' French-language liabilities are accurately captured in your English-language ledger

The 7-Step Integrity Framework

I don't rely on software to catch errors; I rely on protocol. My proprietary framework stress-tests your portfolio for data atrophy—identifying the embedded leases, unverified discount rates, and abandoned assets that lie beyond the reach of standard algorithms.

WHY I FOUNDED LEASE & LEDGER ADVISORY

I founded Lease & Ledger Advisory to address a critical gap: the disconnect between lease contract obligations and ledger accuracy.

While managing multi-million dollar portfolios, I realized that mid-market companies face a unique Forensic Gap. They are the engine of the North American economy, yet they are often stranded between two extremes:

Out-of-the-Box Automation: Too complex for basic software that assumes data is always correct.
Institutional Oversight: Lacking the massive resources required for Big 4 accounting firm fees.

This gap leaves billions in lease liabilities validated by nothing more than an algorithm. Without forensic oversight, companies remain vulnerable to four systemic risks:

Unchecked Capital Leakage: Landlord overcharges drain working capital that should fuel expansion.
Systemic Financial Risk: Small data errors compound into material reporting liabilities.
Regulatory Blindspots: Without forensic oversight, ASC 842 compliance becomes a liability rather than a standard of trust.
Cross-Border Friction: Operations stall where U.S. and Canadian reporting standards, tax treatments and legal frameworks conflict.

I built this firm to provide the technical stewardship necessary to bridge this gap, ensuring your financial data finally matches your lease reality, whether you operate under ASC 842, IFRS 16, or both.
