The owner of a professional accounting service in Salt Lake City has been charged with collecting money intended to pay the bills of vulnerable clients and using it instead for other people.

SALT LAKE CITY —

McCauley is the "owner and operator of Simplified Business Solutions, was entrusted to serve as a fiduciary for 76 vulnerable individuals," according to charging documents that represent alleged crimes against 10 of those clients. In some cases, McCauley also received a client's Social Security income as well as COVID-19 stimulus checks in addition to Medicaid payments, the charges state. But rather than pay her client's rent and utility bills, prosecutors say that money was used to benefit someone else.

Another man was forced to move out of his assisted living facility because he fell behind on rent, the charges allege. That man "is cognitively unable to comprehend the totality of the situation, but his sister continues to receive collection notices."
