Our People

Kathleen isn’t just an Accounting Manager at Leone, McDonnell & Roberts — she’s also one of our longest tenured employees! With over three decades of experience with the firm, she’s our go-to resource for a wide range of accounting and bookkeeping tasks.

Kathleen manages a wide range of client services, including full charge bookkeeping solutions that include, but are not limited to payroll, accounts payable, accounts receivable, trust and probate accounting, bank account reconciliation, creation of financial statements and related sports, developing/maintaining a coherent system of accounts. She also assists with setting up new businesses, cost accounting, elder services, and all payroll aspects.

Not only does Kathleen do it all — she does it all with a great attitude. She has a knack for developing solid client relationships and works hard to understand their needs as she works with them to meet their goals. She is also always willing to go beyond her normal work scope to research answers and point our clients in the right direction.

A lifelong New Hampshire resident, Kathleen grew up and raised her family here. She’s a self-proclaimed foodie and a big fan of DIY projects and products. When not in the office, loves to host family and friend gatherings and cooking. She also enjoys live music, the beach, exploring new places (and food), and a good book.

Cathleen Clough is the Leone, McDonnell & Roberts Firm Administrator. Cathleen joined the team in 2006. Prior to her time with us, Cathleen worked in the banking industry in various capacities, and she also gained valuable administrative experience at a medical office.

In her role as Firm Administrator, Cathleen assumes responsibility for a wide range of tasks and functions. Cathleen handles several HR roles, including benefits administration and onboarding for the firm. She also handles purchasing, office administration and helps with billing.

A lifelong New Hampshire resident, Cathleen lives in Sanbornville with her husband. Together, they have three adult children. When she’s not in the office running with multiple projects simultaneously, Cathleen enjoys creating craft cards, gardening or spending time with family and friends at the ocean.

Sarah joined the Leone, McDonnell & Roberts team in January of 2018. In her role as Marketing Director, Sarah manages a wide range of marketing and communication efforts for the firm, including website updates, social media management, print collateral, event coordination, blogs/news and advertising. She also coordinates recruiting, sponsorship, and community engagement for the team.

Before joining Leone, McDonnell & Roberts, Sarah built her marketing career at both for-profit and nonprofit organizations. Her professional experience with for-profits and nonprofits makes her an excellent resource for our internal initiatives as well as client-facing campaigns — she understands our clients’ pain points and is able to develop resources that articulate the Leone, McDonnell & Roberts’ difference.

Giving back is also a priority to Sarah. Since 2011, she has served the American Cancer Society Relay for Life in Rochester, New Hampshire. In 2021, Sarah was presented the Sandra C. Labaree Volunteer Values Award, an accolade recognizing her many accomplishments in support of the Society’s mission to celebrate lives, save lives and to lead the fight for a world without cancer. Currently, she is a co-chair of the Rochester event and the co-captain of an active Relay for Life team.  She has also volunteered and supported the Dover Chamber of Commerce, Tri-City Christian Academy, and other organizations.

A lifelong New Hampshire native, Sarah graduated from the University of New Hampshire with a Bachelor of Science in Business Administration and a minor in Women’s Studies. When she’s not at the office, Sarah enjoys spending time with her husband, Todd, and their two adult children.
