1. Case Study from Million Dollar Embezzlement Losses to Successful

   The Primemark Group

   Jan 2002 — Present · CA, US

   As a business value maximizer and exit planning expert, I help business owners stop leaving money on the table and prepare for a successful exit. One such client retained my services years before he decided to sell. He had been embroiled in an embezzlement scheme by an employee, so he needed a long-range plan to prevent recurrences. Over the following eight years, I was involved in several projects to identify issues surrounding the theft and boost the company’s value in preparation for eventual sale. I always focused on moving the company forward, away from the embezzlement – which had spanned 12 years – and focused on the positive aspects of the company. These included high profitability, an excellent employee base, a superb reputation with customers, and a leadership position in the Southern California market. We entered due diligence and managed a successful, profitable closing, despite negative issues from regulatory bodies and labor availability challenges.To learn more, connect with me here on LinkedIn today!
