Who
WE ARE

Heather has become a familiar face at the firm over the last 6 years, as she returned to the workforce at Donald J. Holmes, CPA Firm.  Her happy demeanor is the first thing you see when you walk in the office or you call on the phone.  She and her family are natives of the Lowcountry; however, she spent 30 years in Western North Carolina, where she attended school and served as VP-Operations at a local Credit Union.  Heather and her family returned back to South Carolina 9 years ago to help care for her father and be closer to the many joys of the Lowcountry.

Heather attended Appalachian State and UNC-Asheville, where she studied business, accounting, and computer sciences.  She began working in the banking arena of United Services Credit Union part time while attending school, and eventually managed the IT, and Finance/Accounting Departments of the same Credit Union.  She dedicated 20 years to the field, where she gained her experience in accounting and computer/data processing.  She holds certificates in Microsoft applications, disaster recovery strategic planning and implementation, and has been recognized for creating and managing budget plans for Credit Union use.  Heather also brings experience in creating financial reports and data analysis for strategic planning.  She is a graduate of Leadership Asheville, a program dedicated to develop and engage individuals in leadership capacities to build better communities.  Heather has experience in payroll processing, financial statement preparation, bookkeeping,  and tax preparation.  She is excited to be a part of the team at Coastal Tax and Accounting, LLC, and looks forward to all future endeavors with the Firm.

Heather and her husband Thad have four children and reside in Walterboro.  In their spare time, they enjoy attending their kid’s college activities, baseball games, school events, and spending time fishing and visiting the beach.
