Get to Know Us

Sandra

I am a native Georgian, have lived in 8 states and one U.S. Territory and have made Colorado my home since 1982.

Since high school bookkeeping, I have enjoyed the system and order provided by the accounting profession. I was a stay at home Mom for several years and after my youngest son entered school, returned to complete my education, graduating with distinction from Colorado State University in 1987.

I began my career at an IRS Service Center in Chamblee, Georgia. From 1982 to 1990, I worked for the Internal Revenue Service in Fort Collins, CO. During that time I was a COOP student with IRS and CSU. I worked in many positions with the IRS completing my career there as a Revenue Officer, working in the Collection Division of the Fort Collin's office.

I left my employment with the Federal Government in 1990 to work in Public Accounting for Mark Elmore. I was a staff accountant for three years and became a partner with Elmore and Hanna CPAs in 1993. In 1996 I purchased Mark's interest in the firm and became the sole owner. In 2002 a CPA employed by the firm, Linda Holdredge became a partner, and the name of the firm changed to its current name of Hanna, Holdredge and Associates, CPAs.

My husband, Mike, and I have four children and eight grandchildren. We have two granddaughters and five grandsons. We really enjoy all of them and they make our holidays active and joyously noisy.

 

Linda

Accounting is my second career. I have a degree in microbiology and worked in research laboratories in the areas of DNA sequencing and immunology. After a few years out of the work force as a full time mom, I became an income tax preparer. I enjoyed the work and the clients, so I returned to school. After receiving a Masters degree with an emphasis in Taxation, I sat for the CPA exam. I have been with this firm since 1997 and became a partner in 2002. I enjoy working with our clients on individual and business planning and business start up issues. The growth of our firm has allowed me to meet a variety of interesting people and learn about their business and personal goals.

I have a son in Laramie and daughter in Fort Collins. My standard poodle and I spend as much time as possible in my large yard, where I plant new perennials and move the existing ones to a more optimum location. I enjoy gardening, reading, walking, bicycling and spending time with my family and friends.

 

Martin

Born and raised in northern and eastern Colorado, I have been a CPA in Loveland since September, 1980. Joining the team at Hanna, Holdredge & Associates in December, 2007 has enabled me to continue my profession surrounded by people dedicated to providing quality services.

 

My wife, Junette, and I have two daughters that have grown up in the Loveland schools and community activities.

 

We enjoy traveling and family projects. I really appreciate the outdoor lifestyle that Colorado has to offer.

 

 

Carla

My husband and I moved to Colorado in 1994 as a result of a job transfer for him. I took the opportunity to return to school at Colorado State University and obtained a masters degree in accounting.

 

In 2004 I joined Hanna, Holdredge & Associates. I enjoy meeting with clients, preparing tax returns and being involved in all aspects of accounting that working in a small business oriented firm provides. I enjoy getting to know clients and meeting their specific needs.

 

I enjoy spending time with husband and two boys.

 

 

Diane

I started my career as a data entry clerk with a CPA firm in 1979, joining this firm in 1984. During this time, I attended classes in accounting and H & R Block Income Tax Preparation, working my way up to becoming a full-charge bookkeeper.

My responsibilities include the preparation of monthly financial statements, payroll, sales tax and working trial balances.

My husband Fran, a retired Loveland firefighter, and I were married in Iowa, moving to Colorado shortly thereafter, in 1966. We have two married sons and five grandchildren.

I have been a member of Beta Sigma Phi since 1969. During this time, I have held every office, some of them several times, as well as having chaired various committees. I have volunteered with the American Cancer Society and for the McKee Health Fair.

I enjoy traveling in our 5th wheel trailer, NASCAR races, bowling, gardening, walking and watching sporting events. My biggest joy is being with family.

I strive to follow his example and provide excellent and friendly customer service to our clients while making the office run smoothly for the staff.

 

I have worked as a machinist, draftsman, orthotic technician, auto parts counterperson, graphic artist and stay at home Mom. I became Office Manager for Hanna, Holdredge & Associates in October 2003. Surprisingly, I have used many of my varied skills in this position.

Like Linda, my first career was in science.  I graduated from Colorado State University in 1998 with a degree in microbiology.  After working in the lab for a few years, I became a high school science teacher and loved it!  I left teaching when I became a mom and began to study accounting while I was home with my children.   

I started working at Hanna, Holdredge & Associates in December of 2007 and am currently working to obtain my CPA license.  Outside filing season, I work mainly as a Quickbooks ProAdvisor for the firm.  I love meeting new clients, learning about different businesses, and figuring out how to tailor solutions to each client's circumstances.  I especially appreciate that my work gives me the opportunity to act as an educator and a problem-solver.

When I'm not working, I enjoy volunteering at my children's schools, gardening, cooking, reading, and learning new things.
