A Massachusetts woman was indicted by a grand jury on Thursday in connection with allegedly stealing more than $230,000 from a staffing firm and $60,000 from another company, the Massachusetts Attorney General’s Office announced.

Teresa Goodsell, age 43, of Walpole, Mass., was indicted on charges of larceny over $250 (six counts) and false entries in corporate books, according to the Attorney General’s Office.

Goodsell stole from Willmott & Associates Inc., a Lexington-based provider of staffing and employment services, according to the Attorney General’s Office.  Goodsell also allegedly stole from the Cambridge Institute of International Education, a Waltham-based family of companies focused on the placement of international students in American homes and private schools.

Goodsell was employed as the director of operations at Willmott from 2006 to June 2013, a position that granted her control of the company’s finances. Authorities allege that between 2007 and 2013, Goodsell stole more than $230,000 from Willmott, using a variety of schemes that included directing paychecks to former employees and depositing them into her own bank accounts, according to the Attorney’s General’s Office. Goodsell also allegedly made unauthorized payments directly to herself from Willmott accounts.

Goodsell began working at the Cambridge Institute in July 2013 as the director of human resources, according to the Attorney General’s Office, and authorities allege she stole more than $60,000 from the Cambridge Institute between July 2013 and April 2015.

“This defendant allegedly stole hundreds of thousands of dollars from two companies by exploiting her position within those organizations,” said Attorney General Healey. “These companies and their employees were victimized by these alleged criminal actions.”

Both Willmott and the Cambridge Institute fully cooperated with the investigation.
