When business and family no longer mix, what will you do?
Many entrepreneurs succeed in sustaining intergenerational family partnerships. However, a family business disagreement that cannot be resolved amicably can lead to years of litigation. Some disputes may even spill over into the administration of an estate. Such situations create conflicts for professionals providing traditional accounting services.
If your client is in need of forensic accounting or valuation services as a result of a conflict, consider contacting Asterion. The consultants in our boutique firm can assist you without competing against your traditional services.

Whether you are considering the termination of an employee’s contract, or have had your contract terminated, the experts at Asterion can assist you in determining the amount of damages that may be claimed.
