Embezzlement Investigations for Business Owners
When a trusted employee may be stealing, I find out what happened, document it and help you stop it.

Found Something That Does Not Add Up?
Do not confront anyone yet. Do not delete anything. Embezzlement is usually done by someone you trust, and it has often gone on longer than you think. What you do in the first 48 hours decides how much of the evidence you keep.
What an Investigation Includes
- Preserve the Evidence: Secure the books, bank records and computers before anything disappears.
- Trace the Money: Find out exactly where it went and how much was taken.
- Interviews: Interview the employees who matter.
- Case Package: An organized case for law enforcement, your insurer or civil court.
- Prevention: Controls that make the next theft harder.
- Corrected Books and Returns: If the books or tax returns need fixing, I correct them.

Common Questions
Talk to your attorney and to me first. Acting too early can tip off the employee and cost you evidence.
I recommend it. Working through an attorney protects the investigation and helps you decide between prosecution and a civil claim.
Days to weeks, depending on how long the theft went on and how good the records are.
I document the loss so your attorney, insurer or prosecutor can pursue recovery and restitution.
