BOSTON (FOX 25 / MyFoxBoston.com) - A Westborough woman has been found guilty of stealing more than $600,000 from her former employer to fund her lavish lifestyle.

Prosecutors say Cynthia Goldberg, 47, was convicted on Thursday after an 11-day bench trial of 10 counts of larceny more than $250 and five counts of making false entries into corporate books.

Prosecutors say Goldberg, an accountant for a Boston engineering firm who also goes by the names Cynthia Kussy and Cynthia McDonnell, used company credit cards and billed personal expenses to the company's bank account to pay for a stay in a luxury hotel, limousine services, as well as for goods at Petco, Victoria's Secret and Banana Republic.

She was fired in 2007. She is scheduled to be sentenced next Thursday.

Her attorney was not immediately available for comment.
