Our People

Molly, a Senior Accountant, first joined Leone, McDonnell & Roberts in 2017 as an intern. She likes to joke that we’ve been “stuck” with her since then — we like to say it was our good fortune we managed to convince her to join us full-time in 2019.

Molly graduated from UNH with a degree in Business Administration and with a focus in Accounting. She went on to earn her Master of Science in Accounting at UNH. As Certified Public Accountant, Molly works with clients in Stratham and Dover on tax preparations and audits. She comes at accounting like a puzzle — and she’s excellent at putting the pieces together for our taxpayers.

When not in the office, Molly enjoys the outdoors with her horses, visiting Nashville, and going on adventures to find cute coffee shops around the seacoast and beyond.
