Overview

As Chief Operations Officer, Sarah drives Holthouse’s strategic and operational excellence, leading initiatives that strengthen the firm’s operations and support its continued growth. A key advisor to the Executive Committee, she helps shape how the firm’s people, processes, and technology evolve to meet emerging opportunities and business needs. Her areas of focus include organizational effectiveness, technology and AI, talent and leadership development, process improvement, and the future of work.

Technology and innovation have been consistent themes throughout Sarah’s career. She has worked across functions to improve internal systems, knowledge sharing, and technology adoption. Today, that experience informs her leadership as Holthouse adopts AI, automation, and other technologies to advance how the firm operates and serves its clients.

Equally important to Sarah is developing the firm’s people and building capabilities for the future. She has developed and taught programs spanning technical education, leadership and professional skills, career development, AI, and prompt writing, and she mentors professionals both within and outside the firm. Her approach reflects the belief that meaningful transformation goes beyond technology, bringing together strong leadership, clear priorities, continuous learning, and an investment in helping people adapt and grow.

Sarah brings more than 20 years of public accounting experience to her role. Before moving into firmwide operational leadership, she specialized in tax compliance and consulting for closely held private companies and co-led Holthouse’s Manufacturing, Retail, and Distribution practice.

Sarah earned a bachelor’s degree in accounting from Pennsylvania State University and began her career in public accounting at EY.
