Source of Funds Reports That Trace Every Dollar, From Lawful Origin to Investment
An officer must be able to follow your money from where it was earned to where it was invested, without gaps. We build that path, document by document, and write it up in a report your attorney can file.
Not a law firm. We work alongside your attorney or authorized representative.
Source of Funds vs Source of Wealth
Our 4-step tracing method
Origin: how the money was earned or received — salary, business profits, sale of property or shares, inheritance, gift, loan.
Accumulation: where it was held — accounts, deposits, investments — with statements.
Transfer: each movement to the U.S. — wire records, currency exchange, remittance forms.
Investment: deposit into the business or project, matched to the plan's investment amount.
Every step is tied to an exhibit number, so your attorney can index the evidence.
