Fixed-price forensic audits. I show up, inspect your files, fix what's broken, and hand you a Certificate of Readiness before I leave.
No hourly billing. No scope creep. You know the price before I walk in.
Fixed-price. High-demand. I knock them out in a weekend. You get a Certificate of Readiness or a documented repair list—nothing in between.
Williamsburg's Elite Standard for Audit Protection
Investment:
Base rate covers up to 25 employees.
Custom quotes for larger
teams.
The Reality:
In a town built on history, one bad date can ruin your future. ICE and Virginia auditors don't care if you're a staple of the community; they care about Section 2 signatures and expired IDs. If your filing system is "we'll find it when we need it," you're sitting on a landmine.
The $70,000 Risk:
In 2026, federal fines have scaled again. A single paperwork error—a missing middle initial or a reversed date—now carries a penalty of $288 to $2,861 per form. For a team of 25, a "minor" mess is a $70,000 catastrophe.
The Ship-Shape Fix:
One reversed date can sink a small business. I personally reconstruct your I-9 cabinet to 2026 standards so you're always "Above Board" when auditors arrive.
The Need: Most Williamsburg handbooks are from 2018. They're missing Pay Transparency (SB 1132) and Workplace Violence Prevention (HB 1919) language.
The Risk: $1,000 fine for missing the workplace violence policy alone (required by July 1, 2026).
The Fix: I provide a "2026 Compliance Patch"—3 to 5 pages of mandatory legal updates you can staple to your current book today.
The Need: Almost every small business keeps doctor's notes, FMLA papers, and ADA requests inside the standard personnel file. This is a massive HIPAA/ADA violation.
The Risk: Data breach lawsuits and federal ADA penalties.
The Fix: I physically walk into your office and "purge" the files. I create a separate "Red Folder" system for medical-only data.
The Need: The minimum wage hit $12.77 on Jan 1. The trap is the "Tipped Credit" math and "Exempt" employee salary thresholds.
The Risk: Unpaid wage claims in VA now allow for Triple Damages and mandatory attorney fees.
The Fix: I audit your last 3 months of payroll to ensure "Exempt" vs "Non-Exempt" classifications are legally defensible.
The Need: The Virginia "Worker Protection Unit" is hunting 1099 contractor misclassification in landscaping, construction, and cleaning.
The Risk: $1,000 per worker for the first audit, jumping to $5,000 for the second. Plus state contract bar for 1 year.
The Fix: I run a 20-point "Behavioral Control" test on every contractor you pay. You get a "Contractor Defense Binder."
