Certified Public Accountant

About me

Danielle Hinerman, MAFM, CPA, founded Hinerman Accounting, LLC to give business owners something more than a tax preparer who shows up once a year. Whether you’re running a small local business or a company doing several million in revenue, the same thing tends to be true: you need someone who actually understands your numbers and can help you make decisions, not just file paperwork after the fact. That’s the role Danielle plays for her clients, sometimes as a tax and bookkeeping advisor, sometimes as a fractional CFO for businesses that need that level of strategic support.

She’s been doing this work since 1995, which means she’s seen a lot of different businesses, industries, and financial messes over the years. That experience shows up in practical ways: helping owners get a handle on cash flow, untangle financial operations that have gotten complicated, plan for growth or a transition, and stop dreading tax season. She’s not interested in jargon for jargon’s sake. She’d rather sit down with a client and explain what their numbers actually mean.

Danielle is a CPA with a Master’s degree in Accounting and Financial Management from Keller Graduate School of Management, where she Graduated with Distinction, and a Bachelor’s degree from Franklin University, where she graduated Magna Cum Laude. She’s a member of the AICPA and the Ohio Society of CPAs, a Certified Elite QuickBooks ProAdvisor, and a licensed Notary Public. Outside of client work, she serves on the boards of directors for several organizations — community involvement that’s been a constant throughout her career, not an afterthought.
