In this gripping real-life story, a small business owner recounts how the person she relied on most - her accountant - quietly siphoned funds right under her nose. What began as odd observations mushroomed into a devastating discovery.

Through candid reflection and persoal lessons, Cheryl reveals how familiarity can blind even the most diligent business leaders. Yet, her journey is not one of defeat, but of resilience; rebuilding her business, her confidence, and her systems to ensure deception doesn't resurface. Too Close for Comfort is a raw, eye-opening conversation that reminds us that fraud often hides in plain sight.
