Until he joined his wife in starting a new CPA firm in Suffolk, he served as Controller or Director of Finance in two other companies. Raymond has a Masters in Accounting from the University of Connecticut, and an MBA from Norwich University. He also likes to give back to the community having served as a Board of Director for different organizations, and as an adjunct instructor of accounting for Old Dominion University.

Though a lifelong resident of Chesapeake, Sheri has spent her working career in Downtown Suffolk. Having begun her career with the oldest CPA firm in Suffolk, right after graduating from Old Dominion University with a degree in accounting, Sheri steadily moved from a staff accountant to a manager, to obtaining partner in the firm in 2004. Sheri takes great pleasure in having worked for the same firm for 25 years. In August 2013, after the managing partner retired, Sheri, along with her husband of 26 years, started a new accounting firm to serve Suffolk and the surrounding area. While primarily a tax practice, Anderson and Anderson, CPA's P.C. has developed a niche clientele based on strong customer service. This philosophy has enabled the firm to grow consistently each year with clients not only in Suffolk, but throughout the US. Sheri believes in giving back to the community that has welcomed her from the beginning of her career, as such she has volunteered with many Suffolk organizations.
