Denise Hanlon, CPA
Owner & Lead Advisor
Denise has over 30 years of accounting experience, with the past 20 years focusing on the unique accounting needs of small to medium sized businesses and their owners. She started her career working as an accountant for several Fortune 500 companies in the Boston area. This large corporation accounting experience included work in financial accounting, management reporting, budgeting, corporate benchmark analysis and corporate tax returns. She chose to leave the corporate world to pursue accounting and taxation work within smaller business environments, including restaurants, retail shops and professional services. These experiences shaped her understanding of – and affinity for – the unique accounting and tax requirements of small- and medium-size business owners.
Denise is licensed as a CPA in Massachusetts and is a certified QuickBooks Pro-Advisor and Certified Tax Coach. She is a member of the American Institute of CPAs and the Massachusetts Society of Certified Public Accountants. She holds a post baccalaureate degree in accounting from the University of Massachusetts and a bachelor’s in business administration from Bryant University in Smithfield, R.I.
Denise has deep roots in the local community. She and her husband, Jim, make their home in Sharon, where they raised their family. Now that their children are grown and thriving in their own careers, Denise enjoys spending her time with loved ones, traveling, exploring new foods, hiking, and playing golf. Originally from Norwood, she continues to value the connections and experiences that have shaped her life.
