Leadership

The professionals who sign your work are the professionals you speak with.

S&S CPA INC is intentionally led by senior practitioners. Every engagement is directed by leadership — never handed to a rotating desk.

Selim Hanna, CPA

Selim Hanna is the Managing Principal of S&S CPA INC and personally leads every engagement the firm accepts. With more than 25 years of certified public accounting experience, he advises business owners, executives, and high-net-worth families on the decisions that determine what they keep — entity structure, compensation design, transaction timing, and long-horizon tax strategy.

His practice spans closely held businesses across construction, healthcare, real estate, professional services, and hospitality, where he combines technical tax depth with the operational judgment that comes from reading thousands of general ledgers. Clients engage him for the strategy work and stay for the accessibility: the CPA who signs the return is the CPA who answers the phone.

Selim also represents clients before the IRS and state taxing authorities in examinations, collections, and appeals — work that requires both technical precision and a steady presence during a difficult process.

Sheryl Cannon

Sheryl Cannon leads individual and business tax engagements at S&S CPA INC and is the relationship anchor for many of the firm's longest-standing clients. Her focus is execution done right: accurate preparation, disciplined documentation, and multi-state compliance handled well ahead of deadline.

She works closely with clients throughout the year rather than only in filing season, coordinating estimates, responding to notices, and making sure planning decisions made with Selim are carried through into the returns that follow. Clients consistently describe her as responsive, thorough, and unusually easy to reach.

Her role sits deliberately at the intersection of technical work and client care — the point where a firm either earns long-term trust or loses it.

Areas of focus
  • Individual and business tax preparation
  • Multi-state filing and compliance management
  • Year-round planning support and estimate coordination
  • Notice response and taxing-authority correspondence
  • Client relationship leadership and onboarding
