Our People

Anna Gerhard is a Staff Accountant at LMR. She earned her Bachelor of Business Administration with a focus in Accounting from the University of New Hampshire.

Before joining LMR, Anna gained hands-on experience at an audit-focused internship and additional work in tax and retirement audits. She also managed to complete her bachelor’s degree in just three years, giving herself room to accelerate straight into her Master of Science in Accounting, which she earned in 2026.

In her role at the firm, Anna blends audit and tax work, with a focus on audit. What she likes most about the field is the clear growth path and variety within audit – she’s looking forward to taking on a retirement audit and eventually branching into nonprofit work. She also appreciates that LMR knows how to work hard and get things done, while still leaving room for fun.

Anna calls Dover, NH home and the beach is her happy place. She’s currently studying for the CPA exam and is a member of the AICPA, NECPA, and Beta Alpha Psi. In her free time, she loves cooking up new recipes, skiing in the winter, and swimming and hiking in the summer. Top of Anna’s bucket list: a trip to Italy, followed by Germany, where her family roots run deep.

Kate Vaughan is a Staff Accountant at LMR who splits her time between audit and tax work. A Dover resident who grew up in North Conway, Kate graduated magna cum laude from Merrimack College with a Bachelor’s in Business Administration, concentrating in Accounting and Finance.

Kate’s history with LMR goes back further than her official start date. She interned with the firm during the summer of 2025, which gave her a firsthand look at the team and the work before she came on board full-time. She’s currently studying for her NH CPA license and is a member of both the AICPA and NECPA. What keeps Kate energized about the field is simple: she loves helping people with their taxes.

When she’s not at the office, Kate’s likely out enjoying her happy place, the White Mountains, where she loves skiing, hiking, or just going out for a walk. When asked what she likes most about working at LMR, her answer was short and sweet: the people.
