Author Cheryl Obermiller reveals: Little could I have envisioned what was to happen over the next few years as we unraveled the mess. We dealt with unbelievable demands and accusations from the IRS, assisted the FBI with their criminal investigation, and reached out to Kit Bond, my U.S. Senator, for help with aggressive tax collectors. In the meanwhile, we kept our doors open to assist our clients, struggled to meet our financial obligations, and slowly rebuilt the business. Finally, we prosecuted the embezzler, which led to her incarceration in a federal penitentiary.

Founder of the Missouri based Obermiller Construction, Cheryl Obermiller is an expert in small business financial fraud prevention and learned it the old-fashioned way.
Creating her construction company in 1993, she built it into a successful multi-million-dollar company, with dozens of employees. In 2001, she discovered a major embezzlement from a trusted employee, costing her in excess of $1,000,000 and countless hours of time.
With tenacity and grit, she defended her company against out-of-control IRS representatives; spear-headed the prosecution that sent the embezzler to prison; and did it while raising eight children.
She speaks for a variety of business groups and associations on prevention of fraud within their organizations and for their members. Her steps and strategies should be taught to every entrepreneur. In every business school. Starting now.
