BOSTON (AP) Federal prosecutors say the owner of a company that provided payroll and payroll tax services to many small businesses in New England has agreed to plead guilty to embezzling more than $1 million from her clients.

The U.S. attorney’s office in Massachusetts said Monday that 65-year-old Patricia Lindau, of Newburgh, Maine, will plead guilty at a date to be determined to wire fraud and tax evasion.

Prosecutors say Lindau, owner of Northeast Abacus Inc., from 2017 and the spring of 2020 failed to pay payroll taxes that she withdrew from her clients’ bank accounts to federal and state tax agencies.

A voicemail seeking comment was left with her attorney.
