Client Onboarding for Forensic Accountants with Relativity

Run client onboarding on autopilot inside Relativity.

Relativity Forensic Accountant Fraud Investigation

The Problem

Onboarding a new Fraud Investigation client means chasing prior-year returns, engagement letters, and a dozen document requests — and every delay pushes the first billable task further out.

What We Build in Relativity

AI drafts the engagement letter, generates a tailored document-request list for the client's Fraud Investigation profile, chases missing items across email and IDEA, and hands the partner a ready-to-work file — first billable task starts in 3 days, not 3 weeks. Purpose-built for teams running Relativity — uses the native API or agent integration so nothing leaves the system of record.

Relativity Integration Approach

1

Audit your Relativity configuration

We map the specific Relativity objects, custom fields, and workflows the automation needs to touch for your fraud investigation practice.

2

Build on the Relativity API or agent

Integration happens inside Relativity — no data leaves the system, no parallel tool for your team to learn, no license changes.

3

Human-in-the-loop handoff

Every automation routes exceptions back to a human in Relativity with enough context to act — AI handles the 80%, your team owns the judgment calls.

Frequently asked

Does this client onboarding automation work natively in Relativity?+

Yes — we build directly on Relativity's API or agent integration. Your data stays in Relativity, your forensic accountants keep the same login and UI, and there's no parallel system for the team to learn.

What Relativity configuration do we need before deployment?+

We work with your existing Relativity setup. During discovery we map the specific objects, custom fields, and workflows the automation touches — no rip-and-replace required for fraud investigation teams.

Can Relativity handle client onboarding on its own?+

Relativity handles configuration; AI handles judgment. Native Relativity workflows route deterministic tasks; our automation layer adds the AI judgment Relativity doesn't ship out of the box — document classification, exception triage, drafting.

Is Relativity the right tool for client onboarding for forensic accountants?+

Relativity is widely used among fraud investigation teams precisely because of its data model around client onboarding. We've deployed this workflow on Relativity for similar firms and the integration is well-trodden.

What's the typical ROI of client onboarding automation in Relativity?+

For fraud investigation firms running Relativity, automation typically pays back inside the first quarter — measured against the loaded cost of the forensic accountant hours absorbed. Higher volumes deploy faster.
