Uncovering the Truth Behind Business Challenges
In today’s business world, fraud, misconduct, and operational blind spots often hide in plain sight. From financial irregularities to employee issues, the problems that drain profits aren’t always obvious—and standard procedures don’t always provide answers. That’s when companies turn to professionals who know how to uncover the facts.
Brian Erbis Consulting, led by a retired NYPD detective and Certified Fraud Examiner with over 25 years of experience, provides Nevada businesses with investigative methodology blended with business consulting. Based in Reno, the firm delivers actionable results with professionalism, accuracy, and confidentiality.
“Prevention is important, but it doesn’t help when you already suspect something is wrong,” explains Brian Erbis Consulting. “That’s when investigative methodology becomes an essential business tool.”
Services That Deliver Real Answers
The firm’s fraud and theft investigations uncover employee misconduct, supplier fraud, or financial irregularities that quietly erode profits.
Fraud examination goes further by using Certified Fraud Examiner (CFE) methodologies to quantify losses, identify schemes, and provide evidence strong enough for court or regulatory action. Businesses, law firms, and insurers depend on this service when fraud is suspected but not yet proven.
Due diligence helps companies, investors, and attorneys make informed decisions by thoroughly reviewing financial, legal, and reputational risks. Coupled with background checks on tenants, employees, vendors, and partners, it provides clarity before contracts, hires, or acquisitions.
Conflict of interest investigations identify undisclosed relationships, self-dealing, or ethical violations by employees, vendors, or officials. These inquiries protect organizations from regulatory penalties and reputational damage while reinforcing trust in leadership and operations.
Contract violation investigations focus on breaches of agreements such as non-competes, NDAs, and partnership contracts. By gathering evidence of violations, Brian Erbis Consulting provides clients with the documentation they need to take decisive legal or business action.
Mystery shopping provides more than customer service feedback—it discreetly reveals compliance failures, theft, or security gaps that impact profitability.
Small business monitoring gives owners peace of mind through unannounced visits, back-office reviews, and operational audits, ensuring employees follow policies even when management isn’t present.
Activity checks and surveillance discreetly document behavior, routines, and property conditions. These services are invaluable for verifying injury claims, monitoring potential misconduct, or gathering evidence of suspicious activity.
Nuisance documentation captures recurring problems—whether disruptive tenants, negligent landlords (“slumlords”), or unsafe property conditions—through video, logs, and detailed reports. The service helps both landlords and tenants pursue fair outcomes backed by evidence.
Skip tracing locates debtors, former tenants, missing heirs, or witnesses who are essential to legal or financial proceedings.
Insurance and workplace claims investigations examine accidents, workers’ compensation cases, or suspicious incidents to validate claims and detect fraud. This protects businesses and insurers from unnecessary losses.
Expert witness and legal investigative support provide attorneys with well-documented, fact-based evidence that can withstand scrutiny in court. As a retired detective and CFE, Brian Erbis Consulting brings credibility and authority to testimony and litigation support.
Welfare checks discreetly confirm a person’s safety or condition, offering families and businesses a professional alternative to law enforcement intervention.
Notary public services streamline legal processes by ensuring affidavits, sworn statements, and investigative documents are properly notarized for official use.
Public records research and retrieval delivers accurate, timely access to property, court, and corporate filings that can make or break a case.
Public interest consulting focuses on systemic accountability—documenting failures by agencies or government bodies to act. By providing evidence-driven reports, Brian Erbis Consulting helps shine light on inefficiencies and drive reform.
