Published On: May 20, 2026

Forensic B2B Debt Recovery Hero

If you are a small business owner, you know that cash flow is the lifeblood of your operation. You also know the sinking feeling of looking at your accounts receivable and seeing large, unpaid invoices from other businesses. Every day your accounts age, the likelihood of full recovery drops. You shouldn’t have to choose between writing off what you’re owed and burning bridges with your clients.

At Martini, Hughes & Grossman (MHG), we specialize in a different approach. We don’t just “chase” money; we investigate it. Founded by a retired Judge and a Certified Fraud Examiner (CFE), our firm utilizes a proprietary forensic collections framework that achieves the highest recovery rates in the industry.

What is Forensic Collections? The Judge & CFE Edge

Most collection agencies use a high-volume, “one-size-fits-all” approach. They send generic letters and hope for the best. Forensic collections is different. It is an evidence-based investigation that treats every past-due account like a legal case file.

Because our firm was founded by a Judge and a Certified Fraud Examiner, we look at the data that others miss. We don’t just see an unpaid invoice; we see a pattern of behavior. Our Forensic Collection specialists analyze:

  • Asset & Liability Investigations: Before we even pick up the phone, we know what the debtor is worth.
  • Debtor Awareness Programs: We monitor all adverse filings, liens, lawsuits, and UCC filings across the U.S.
  • Skip Tracing: Our in-house department utilizes over 1,500 licensed private investigators to find debtors who have gone dark.

By the time we contact your debtor, we have more leverage than any standard agency could hope to possess.

The “Soft Audit” Approach: Preserving Your Relationships

One of the biggest fears for small businesses is that hiring a commercial debt collection agency will destroy their reputation or sever a long-term client relationship. We understand that. That’s why we pioneered the Soft Audit Approach.

We often portray ourselves as your receivables department rather than an outside agency. We don’t burn bridges; we seek to build them. By using a firm but professional tone, we identify the root cause of the non-payment. Is it a cash flow issue? A legitimate service dispute? Or a tactical delay?

Our goal is to get you paid without ending the business relationship. However, if the debtor is simply refusing to pay despite having the means, we have the in-house legal power to escalate immediately.
