About Linda A.

Linda Hamilton is a highly accomplished CPA, entrepreneur, and educator dedicated to helping women business owners achieve financial fluency and build profitable, scalable businesses. She is the founder and CEO of Linda A. Hamilton CPA LLC, where she provides accounting, tax, and strategic financial advisory services to clients across the United States, including nonprofits and international companies doing business in the U.S. In addition, she founded Grow Profit Scale™, a coaching and mastermind program designed to empower women entrepreneurs with actionable financial insights, profit amplification strategies, and scalable business planning tools.

With 38 years of experience in the field, Linda began her career as a bookkeeper and spent over a decade attending night school to earn her accounting degree before becoming a CPA. She later co-founded and led a full-service accounting firm and has since built her own practice focused on strategic financial guidance and education. Her work emphasizes not only the technical aspects of accounting but also the importance of financial literacy and strategic planning, ensuring her clients can grow, profit, and scale sustainably. Linda’s professional philosophy centers on empowering women entrepreneurs, helping them identify opportunities, fix cash flow leaks, and create resilient businesses that thrive over the long term.

Beyond her professional practice, Linda is deeply involved in supporting the broader business community. She is an active member of WeBank and the Women Presidents’ Organization (WPO), where she has served as an accountant and advisory board member for more than 20 years.
