Mark Martinez, CPA

After 10 years in the Marines as an M1A1 Tank Commander, including 2 combat deployments, I used the GI Bill to attend school and transition to civilian life. These days, instead of patrolling the desert, I follow the money in financial investigations, business financial modeling, elder fraud and estate claims, family law, and damage calculations.

Over the past two decades, I have built a career spanning public accounting, corporate finance, and operational leadership, holding senior finance roles across several industries. Through Red-3, I help businesses, individuals, and legal professionals resolve complex issues and prepare confidently for the future. Whether serving as a fractional CFO or providing forensic analysis, I bring an ethical mindset and independence to every engagement:

I hold a bachelor’s degree in accounting and an MBA from Seattle University and am a licensed Certified Public Accountant. In addition to my CPA license, I maintain specialized training and credentials supporting forensic accounting, financial modeling, and expert analysis. Continuous professional education is a priority, ensuring my work reflects current standards, sound methodology, and the highest ethical expectations of the profession.
