Carla Blake, CPA, CFE

Carla brings a unique blend of public and private sector experience to her forensic accounting practice. With a career that spans federal investigations, executive financial management, and regulatory compliance, she has a deep understanding of how financial systems are built—and how they break. Carla has extensive experience uncovering unreported income, detecting embezzlement, and locating hidden assets—often buried across years of financial records. She applies this forensic skill set to divorce cases and financial investigations that require clear, fact-based analysis. Whether the matter involves asset division, suspected fraud, or unexplained account activity, Carla builds financial narratives grounded in documentation—not assumptions.
