Hampton IP provides expert testimony on damage calculations for intellectual property lawsuits. I performed forensic analyses and compiled my findings in expert reports. During the three years I worked at Hampton IP, I contributed significantly to expert reports in more than 30 cases. As this was a small firm with only three forensic accountants supporting the expert witness, our success was highly dependent on our productive collaboration with one another, as well as skillful and focused individual work.

America First Credit Union
https://www.linkedin.com/company/americafirstcreditunion
During my time at America First, I held both a consumer loan originator position and a teller position. As a consumer loan originator, I used judgment in interviewing credit union members for loans and collecting evidence of the member’s ability to pay. One of my responsibilities was to assess a member’s credit risk and recognize when a member may be the victim of a fraud. I frequently advised members in maintaining their personal and business accounts, including the offering of additional credit union services and providing personal finance education.

        Aaron is honest, hard working and detail oriented.  His knowledge of accounting and finance are unparalleled!  Aaron is practical and thorough in his approach to any task he’s given.

        I have had the privilege of working with Aaron on a few projects over the last several months. He has been a pleasure to work with. He is extremely professional, smart, accountable, and has a very analytical mind that allows him to look at complex problems and very systematically and quickly work through them to resolution. Having worked with Aaron, I can say with great confidence that if anyone is looking for accounting support, bookkeeping, QuickBooks expertise, or a number of other things, Aaron is well worth the investment. Aaron is of the utmost character and a joy to work with. Karen Romrell
      
          



            
              
        
              
  

    
        It is with great pleasure that I recommend Aaron Burgoyne. I worked with Aaron for three years on damage analysis and litigation support related to intellectual property infringement. Professionally, Aaron is bright, broadly knowledgeable, and has an extraordinary work ethic. He also has an excellent attention to detail, the likes of which I have rarely seen. On the personal side, Aaron is a pleasure to be around, and is a person of the highest integrity. Wayne Klein
      
          



            
              
        
              
  

    
        Aaron assisted Klein & Associates in the forensic reconstruction of financial transactions for a group of companies accused of taking over $100 million from investors in violation of the law.  Aaron showed excellent skills in researching the history of transactions, preparing summaries of money flows, and creating illustrative graphics that highlighted key transactions.  I highly recommend Aaron's skills and work ethic.
