Why Finding Employment Matters During a Financial Investigation

Paychecks and paper trails. Let’s talk money—specifically, where it’s going, where it’s hiding, and who’s earning it. At Roland Investigations, we dig deep into the dollars and cents of complex situations, uncovering the truth behind murky financial matters. But here's one often overlooked piece of the puzzle: employment status. Yes, whether someone is working—or pretending not to—can play a huge role in financial investigations, and we’re here to tell you why.

Why Does Employment Matter?

You might be wondering, “What’s the big deal if someone is working or not?” Well, in the world of financial investigations, it’s a huge deal. Whether it's a messy divorce, a child support case, bankruptcy, or fraud inquiry, employment (or the lack thereof) can directly impact the outcome.

Finding out whether someone is employed helps us—and our clients—answer questions like:

• Are they hiding income to avoid paying child support?
• Are they underreporting earnings during a divorce settlement?
• Are they claiming financial hardship while secretly cashing side-hustle checks?
• Are they fraudulently drawing unemployment or disability benefits?

Hidden Jobs, Secret Paychecks, and Side Gigs Galore

Let’s be real. Not everyone plays by the rules. Some people go to great lengths to hide their income—working under the table, getting paid through third parties, or starting "shell" companies to bury their profits. That’s where Roland Investigations comes in.

We use advanced tools, surveillance, public records, and a good dose of old-fashioned digging to uncover the truth behind the employment status. If someone’s clocking in somewhere, we’ll find out. And if they’re not? Well, we’ll confirm that too—with the receipts to back it up.

Employment Discovery: A Game-Changer in Court

Finding employment during a financial investigation can completely shift the narrative in legal proceedings. Let’s say someone claims they can’t afford alimony or child support—but we discover they’ve been working under a friend's business for months. Suddenly, the court sees a very different picture. One with consequences.

Judges love facts. We provide them.

What Roland Investigations Looks For

Here’s how we get down to business:

• Employment Verification – We confirm if someone is currently employed and where.
• Income Tracking – We trace potential income streams, including off-the-books jobs.
• Lifestyle Analysis – If someone claims they're broke but just leased a new car? That’s a red flag we’re trained to spot.
• Business Affiliations – We check if the subject has ownership or roles in companies they “forgot” to mention.
• Online Footprints – Sometimes the best clues are found on LinkedIn, social media, or digital job boards.

Knowing whether they’re working, how much they’re earning, and where that money’s going helps level the playing field. Let Roland Investigations help uncover the real story. Because in financial investigations, the truth is rarely on the surface—and paychecks don’t lie.
