Seasoned financial experts, Pamela D. Wickes, CPA, CFE, CFF, ABV, and Scott DeMarco, MBA, CBA, CVA, CDFA, CPVA, have joined forces with an affiliate partnership.
Their businesses, Wickes Forensic Accounting & Consulting LLC and Equitable Value LLC, are now together at a new location in Clifton Park, in addition to operating in New York City.
“During the last four years, there have been times when clients have retained Pam and I separately to work on different aspects of the client’s case,” DeMarco said. “In those situations, Pam does the financial investigation to address various allegations/concerns and then I perform the valuation work.
“Due to the synergies of our practices, it was a smart move to bring our teams together. Doing so makes it easier for our clients to hire us [under one agreement, instead of two] and simpler for us all to communicate and share case information.”
Wickes and DeMarco are financial experts that, for the most part, focus on different niche practice areas. DeMarco is concentrated in business valuations for litigated matters. Equitable Value also provides value-related services for acquisitions, transition planning and more.
Wickes’ practice mainly includes various financial investigations, asset and transaction tracings, fraud examinations, and determination of economic damages / forensic economics.
Both have experience in many types of legal matters and they also provide matrimonial accounting and consulting services, as well as a variety of litigation support services.
“Scott and I worked at a firm together several years ago so we already knew each other’s high quality work product and work ethic. That made it easy for us to team up. I’m excited that, with our affiliate partnership, our clients now have access to more services and expertise under one roof,” said Wickes.
Wickes is a certified public accountant, certified fraud examiner, certified in financial forensics, and accredited in business valuation. She over 20 years of professional experience and has testified in state Supreme Courts, Albany County Family Court, an arbitration hearing, and at depositions for the state Supreme Court, Albany County Commercial Division, and the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of New York.
DeMarco is a certified business appraiser, certified valuation analyst, certified divorce financial analyst, and certified patent valuation analyst. He has approximately 15 years of professional experience and has been qualified and appointed by state Supreme Courts as an expert witness.
