Our People

As a Certified Public Accountant based in our Dover office, she specializes in nonprofit, HUD, and affordable housing audits, along with tax preparation work. She approaches accounting like a puzzle – and she’s exceptional at putting the pieces together for our clients.

Outside the office, Molly enjoys spending time outdoors with her horses, traveling, and discovering charming coffee shops throughout the Seacoast and beyond.
