Most Prosperident fraud examiners come from inside dentistry — former office managers, treatment coordinators, billing specialists, and dental consultants — rather than from traditional accounting or law-enforcement backgrounds. That is by design. Dental embezzlement is highly specific in its methods, and the pattern recognition that makes an examiner effective cannot be taught from a textbook. It comes from years spent inside practices, learning how the software works, how payments flow, and what normal looks like. If you have that background, you already have the most important qualification we look for.
Prosperident investigations are conducted almost entirely remotely. Examiners work from home, accessing practice management software and financial records through secure remote connections. There is very little travel involved. A typical investigation spans several weeks and involves pulling and analyzing data from the practice's software — Dentrix, Eaglesoft, Open Dental, Dolphin, Carestream, and others — alongside bank statements, merchant account records, and payroll data. You will write detailed reports documenting what you found, how the money moved, and what the evidence supports. No two cases are identical, and the work requires both analytical precision and the ability to communicate complex findings clearly to practice owners who are often in significant distress.
We hire for curiosity, pattern recognition, and discretion above all else. The ability to sit with ambiguous data and work through it methodically — without jumping to conclusions — is essential. So is the ability to deliver difficult news to clients with empathy and professionalism. Dental knowledge is required; investigative or forensic accounting experience is a strong asset but not a prerequisite. Prosperident supports examiners who wish to pursue the Certified Fraud Examiner (CFE) designation through the Association of Certified Fraud Examiners, and we view credentialing as part of long-term career development on our team.
Examiners typically progress through three levels: Fraud Examiner, Senior Fraud Examiner, and Supervising Examiner. Advancement reflects both case volume and the development of specialized expertise — in particular software platforms, practice types (general dentistry, orthodontics, specialty), or investigation categories such as insurance fraud or payroll manipulation. You can see examples of our team at each level on our About Us page.
