April 2021 Staff Spotlight
Dorine Nyman
In-Charge Accountant
Dorine joined Hawthorne & Co. CPAs in January 2016 as a Staff Accountant and has since been promoted to the role of In-Charge Accountant. In her current role, she leads a team of Staff Accountants, is the point person on the majority of 1040 tax returns, and serves as our in-office tech guru whenever we need to troubleshoot our software.
Initially, Dorine was drawn to our firm for our small office atmosphere and culture and enjoys getting to know the clients and everyone she works with. Building relationships with both her coworkers and clients continues to be one of the most enjoyable parts of her job.
“My favorite part of working at Hawthorne & Co. CPAs is meeting the clients before and after doing their tax returns and feeling good that I could help them out.”
Dorine believes that patience is a person’s best asset and would advise young professionals to stick with a job for longer than just one or two years. She warns that just a couple of years isn’t enough time to know whether you like the job or if you are good at it.
Dorine’s favorite pastime is going to any kind of sporting event. She especially likes going to Seahawks games but is also a big fan of just sitting at home and watching English Premier Soccer – Go Liverpool!
Something that most people don’t know about Dorine is that before being married to her husband of 37 years, they had known each other for 3 ½ years. During the time before they were married, they never lived in the same state – so believe it or not, long distance relationships do work!
