Presti & Naegele:
Our Mission for Chicago

Individuals and businesses across the Chicago area face financial disputes that require more than a standard accountant. Presti & Naegele serves clients here with focused, case-driven forensic accounting work - building trust through careful analysis and a commitment to honest, accurate findings.


Forensic Accounting Expertise in Chicago You Can Trust

The forensic accountants at Presti & Naegele bring both deep financial knowledge and a sharp investigative mindset to every Chicago engagement. They go beyond the numbers - tracing transactions, identifying inconsistencies, and delivering findings that hold up under legal scrutiny. Think of them as financial detectives with courtroom-ready credentials.

Customized Forensic Accounting Solutions for Diverse Chicago Needs

Chicago's commercial landscape is vast, spanning industries from commodities trading to healthcare to real estate. Every case that comes through - whether it involves a disputed business deal on the North Shore, suspected fraud in a family-owned enterprise, or a contentious divorce in Cook County - gets a tailored forensic accounting approach built around the specific facts at hand.

Fraud Detection and Prevention with Chicago Forensic Accounting

Financial fraud in Chicago can be layered and difficult to detect without the right tools and training. Presti & Naegele takes a proactive stance, not only identifying fraudulent activity but also pinpointing the control weaknesses that allowed it to occur. Protecting your assets starts with knowing exactly where the exposure is.

Forensic Accounting Litigation Support in Chicago with a Difference

In Chicago's active litigation environment - from the Circuit Court of Cook County to federal proceedings in the Northern District of Illinois - forensic accountants need to do more than analyze. Presti & Naegele's team translates dense financial data into testimony and reports that judges, juries, and opposing counsel can understand and engage with directly.

Comprehensive Investigation & Forensic Accounting in Chicago for Clarity and Compliance

From following the money through complex transaction chains to examining records tied to Chicago-area regulatory requirements, Presti & Naegele leaves nothing unexplored. Every investigation is conducted with strict attention to applicable standards, giving clients confidence that findings are thorough, defensible, and compliant.

I have had my business for more than 10 years and struggled through several *truly awful* accountants. I found Presti & Naegele about 5 years ago and have never looked back. They are a life-changing breath of fresh air and they will be my accountants for as long as I live.

CLIENT REVIEW

Andy and the whole Presti Naegele team have been game changers as accountants for our business. My previous accountant was very hands-off and not accessible. Andy and his team are always available, willing and able to roll up their sleeves no matter what we throw at them. Highly recommend - do NOT hesitate to work with them!
