OUR STORY

There had to be a better way

Valid8 Financial has become the global leader in Verified Financial Intelligence (VFI) and is used on the highest profile, most complex bankruptcy, fraud, and cryptocurrency cases in the world, but it all started with a frustrated team of accountants trying to untangle a Ponzi scheme case in 2017.

Faced with needing to connect the dots between tens of thousands of transactions, they were shocked to see that even at the federal level there were no sophisticated tools, just big teams and tons of hours. Worse, there was no guarantee that the data was accurate or that it covered 100% of the banking activity.

Valid8 Financial created the solution the accounting industry needed: a platform built with the latest in automation and AI technology that automatically extracts accounting evidence from all banking documents and exposes the financial facts of a matter with complete certainty.

FAQ

What does Valid8 do?

Valid8 transforms unstructured financial evidence into verified, reconciled transaction data within hours after entering bank statements, check images, and brokerage records. This gives accountants and investigators immediate and defensible clarity without manual data entry or spreadsheet work.

How fast is Valid8?

Most engagements receive fully reconciled, source-verified transaction data in under 24 hours.  In multiple case studies, teams met court or investigative deadlines that would have otherwise required weeks or months of manual work.

How accurate or defensible is the output?

Every transaction extracted by Valid8 is tied back to its original source document, enabling clear traceability. This level of defensibility is trusted by expert witnesses, government agencies, receivers, and bankruptcy professionals.

How is Valid8 different from OCR tools?

Valid8 performs all the steps of OCR and more, saving valuable time and ensuring output is accurate, complete, and defensible. OCR extracts text, but it cannot reconcile statements, detect missing periods, match transfers, or verify transaction integrity.

Who uses Valid8?

Forensic accountants, fraud examiners, government investigators, bankruptcy trustees, receivers, expert witnesses, and attorneys who rely on verified financial evidence to resolve complex matters quickly.
