Kathleen Sweeney, CPA
As a child, I enjoyed working with numbers. During my high school years, I worked as a bookkeeper in a CPA office in New Jersey. While attending Bryant College, I interned in a hospital accounting department and worked for the campus food service. I graduated from Bryant in 1981 with a degree in Business Administration and a concentration in Accounting. My first job was with a non-profit organization before securing a position in public practice. I worked for ten years with a regional CPA firm out of Boston and two years with a small local firm here in New Hampshire.
In September of 1991, I went out on my own and contracted my services out to various Certified Public Accountants. The result was an offer to purchase one of those practices and Kathleen Sweeney, CPA was formed May of 1992. In June of 1996, I opened the satellite office in North Conway.
During the summer of 2004, I sat for and passed the necessary exams to become a Registered Investment Advisor.
Professional memberships include AICPA, New Hampshire Society of CPA’s, National Society of Public Accountants and New Hampshire Estate Planning Council. I serve as a Corporator with the Meredith Village Savings Bank and Treasurers of New England Ski Museum and Winnipesaukee Playhouse.
I enjoy swimming and do so most mornings to help with my arthritis. During the winter months, I get out and ski or hike when possible. In the summer, I enjoy golfing, hiking and fishing. I live a charmed life.
