Julie Aydlott, CFE

I spent most of my childhood in Loveland, Colorado, until we moved to San Diego, California, when I was 15. My dad died when I was four, and my mother raised five children on her own; however, she built an impressive career, working her way up from bank teller to bank president and owner.

I was the only girl in the Fort Collins and Loveland Baseball League — you could say I was a rebel. Not all the players liked it, but once they saw I could play well, they accepted me. Well, except my boyfriend. I caught the game-winning ball he hit to the outfield, preventing his homerun. We won the school championship, and he broke up with me.

As the owner of Aydlott Fraud Examinations, I conduct fraud and forensic examinations for civil and criminal cases. I work on business tax violation and embezzlement cases, mainly involving small- to medium-sized organizations. I’m a QuickBooks expert and provide forensic examinations of those data files.
