About Us

Hello and thank you for visiting our website. We are Robin and Jim Hull and together we created Embezzle-Proof Business.

Robin Hull

I am a CPA and I also have an MBA degree. For the first 17 years of my career I worked for several large corporations in different capacities. Several of the positions that I held were:

Corporate Accounting Manager for an international chemical manufacturing company
IT Manager for a large-scale gas transmission company
Controller for an independent coal producer

On multiple occasions during this time, I dealt with fraud and employee theft in the corporate setting.

For the last 20+ years I have worked primarily with small businesses. Most recently I have done volunteer work helping medical students and new doctors with financial planning and other financial matters. My experiences have made me realize that many people have a limited knowledge of finance and business, making them susceptible to fraud and embezzlement.

During the last 40 years, I have been involved in various businesses. During that time I was stolen from multiple times. In one instance I dismissed the thief, with no further actions or consequences. In the other situations that I was aware of, I did not address the problem at all. Looking back, I’m not quite sure why I did nothing. Possibly it was just to avoid confrontation, or maybe not wanting to cause a disruption in the business, or just hoping that the thief would stop what they were doing. Most likely though it was just not knowing what to do.* Since then, I have learned that several other members of my family have also been embezzled. That is why I decided to address the problem and develop a system to combat it. I certainly wish this program had been available to give me some guidance in what to do to prevent and resolve employee theft.

* I should mention that Robin and I got married after I retired. I’m sure as a CPA who had experience with fraud and employee theft, she would not have been content to just ignore the problem.

Together

In addition to creating Embezzle-Proof Business, we also developed an interest in green construction, which resulted in us constructing a townhouse development where we still reside. This development was the first certified green construction project in our state. In our free time, we enjoy hiking and biking and just being outdoors.
