What Chase & Associates does

Chase & Associates, Inc. is a private investigative and forensic consulting firm founded in 1998 and headquartered in Clearwater, Florida, with a second office in Tampa. The firm is staffed exclusively by former federal law enforcement officers from agencies including the FBI, IRS Criminal Investigation Division, DEA, DHS, U.S. Customs Service, and the U.S. Probation Office, with each officer carrying 20 to 35 years of government service. Its services span nine practice areas: fraud investigations and forensic accounting, due diligence, health care fraud investigations, litigation support and trial preparation, corporate compliance and security consulting, federal sentencing guidelines consulting, expert witness testimony, anti-money laundering compliance, and speaking/training engagements.

The firm's commercial model is fee-based professional services delivered through direct client engagement. Pricing is not publicly disclosed and engagements are quote-based, with high-value case work such as expert witness testimony and complex federal investigations forming the economic core. The go-to-market is sales-led and relationship-driven, relying on professional referrals, word-of-mouth within the legal community, and a content-marketing website that showcases staff credentials and case outcomes rather than paid acquisition channels. There is no recurring SaaS or platform component; every engagement is bespoke.

Chase & Associates serves four primary customer segments: law firms (defense counsel and plaintiff's attorneys), public companies (corporate compliance and internal investigations), government agencies (federal sentencing consultation), and financial institutions (anti-money laundering compliance). The firm operates domestically and internationally through worldwide associations covering 28+ countries, with particular depth in asset-haven jurisdictions. The firm is privately held with no disclosed outside investors, no funding rounds, no M&A activity, and no public revenue figures; ten senior practitioners deliver all engagements directly.
