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. I was out of the work force as a full time mom for a few years. When I returned to work, 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 Southern Illinois. I recently adopted a second standard poodle to keep my older dog company. He is young and large, so obedience school has become a important activity. We enjoy spending 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.
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 business.
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 my husband and two boys.
Robin
I am a Colorado native, born and raised in Loveland. I grew up learning about small businesses from my Dad. He was part owner and manager of Loveland Feed and Grain. 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.
My interests include camping, boating and playing pool with my family. I design magazine ads for Precious Cat, Inc. and ride motorcycles with my husband, Aaron. I attend Grace Community Church in Johnstown.
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 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.
Jenny
I was born and raised in Fort Collins, and I love living in Colorado. In 2004 I graduated from Adams State College in Alamosa Colorado. I recently passed the CPA exam and hope to have my CPA license in early 2011.
I started my accounting career in banking and transitioned to public accounting in September 2007, when I started working for Hanna, Holdredge & Associates. I am thankful for the opportunity to work with such wonderful people and clients from whom I have learned so much. I really enjoy what I do and I love to meet new people and learn more about them and their businesses.
I attend Loveland Baptist church. I enjoy cooking, camping, fishing, running, and being outdoors I also enjoy reading, watching football and spending time with friends and family, especially my children and my husband.
Megan
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 2007 and am currently working to obtain my CPA license. Outside filing season, I work mainly as a QuickBooks Pro Advisor 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 am not working, I enjoy volunteering at my children’s schools, gardening, cooking, reading, and learning new things.
Laura
In 1995 I graduated with a Bachelors degree in Computer Science from University of Utah. My husband and I moved to Loveland for my new job with HP. After working as a software engineer for HP/Agilent in Loveland for 13 years I went back to school for a Masters in Accounting and Finance Management and graduated in early 2010.
I am delighted to have joined the team at Hanna, Holdredge & Associates in July 2011. I am looking forward to meeting our clients and familiarizing myself with their accounting needs. I love learning about our clients’ businesses and how I can help them be more successful. I have passed the CPA exam and am currently working to obtain the CPA license.
My husband and I and our two daughters attend Valley Christian Church in Loveland. Besides spending time with my family I enjoy, baking, reading, volleyball and photography.
