Linda W. Whitaker, CPA joined the firm in July, 2004 when Roberson CPA Firm, PLLC purchased her firm. Linda received her Bachelor's degree in Education from the University of North Carolina at Greensboro. She taught school for one year and then took a job with a local business in the accounting department. That job led her back to school at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill to study post graduate courses in accounting.
She began her career in public accounting in 1976 with the local firm of Rodenhizer and Umstead, CPAs. After Mr. Umstead's retirement, she became partner with Harry Rodenhizer in the firm of Rodenhizer and Whitaker, CPAs. She continued the practice after Mr. Rodehizer's retirement for eleven years as Linda W. Whitaker, CPA. Linda and her entire staff continue to work together after her firm was purchased.
Linda was born in Durham, NC and still lives here with her husband, Alan and son, Jay. Alan is retired from the Hartford Insurance Company. His most recent project was building a 1929 Hudson Coupe street rod. An avid tennis player, Alan now volunteers as an Assistant Coach of the Cedar High School men's tennis team and as a tutor at New Hope Elementary School. Jay, who played #1 on the Cedar Ridge High School tennis team until his graduation in 2008, attends North Carolina State University, College of Engineering.
Over the years, Linda has served in various capacities in professional, religious, and civic organizations. Some of those include: American Business Women's Association, Breakfast Optimist Club, Hollow Rock Racquet and Swim Club, Piney Mountain Homeowners Association, Temple Baptist Church and Orange United Methodist Church. Linda and Alan are members of Grace Church in Chapel Hill. She is also a member of the North Carolina Association of Certified Public Accountants and the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants.
Some of her hobbies are playing tennis, family motorsports events, spending time with her family and volunteering at church events.
When asked about her success in helping clients she said, "We pride ourselves in "meeting clients where they are." For some clients that may be preparation of a tax return, for others it may mean doing everything down to writing checks or making deposits. We are flexible and try to assist clients in ways that suit them best."
