About Us
Hello,
My name is Betsy Teegardin CPA
I was introduced to accounting in my first job. I hadn’t been there very long when my boss asked if I would be interested in cross-training for the bookkeeper position. Even though I was young, I knew enough to accept additional skills training when it was offered. So, I became the bookkeeper for a few hours a week in addition to my other responsibilities. At the end of each month, the accountant would come in and close the books. I asked questions to make her job easier. Eventually, I was doing that piece of the accounting as well. I implemented two software changes and my accounting skills grew and evolved over the next fifteen years.
As the business changed, I continued to adapt with the opportunities that were presented. I became manager of one segment of the business and consultant for the business owner on both segments. I learned a lot about how small businesses function; how to manage them as well as understand the accounting and financial aspects.
When I decided I was ready for a new challenge, I became an accounting clerk for a small manufacturing business. I was again offered many opportunities to not only advance my accounting skills, but also learn about running a business in an entirely different industry. During my time there, I decided to pursue an accounting degree.
While I attended college, I worked a few different jobs as I needed flexibility around my class schedule. When I graduated in 2015, I had experience with retail, service, manufacturing, transportation, and non-profit accounting. Upon graduation, I accepted a position providing outsourced accounting services to small business and fell in love. I have always enjoyed variety in my work, and public accounting offered me the opportunity to work with multiple clients in various industries all at the same time.
In 2019, I became a small business owner myself when I started my own firm. I completed the CPA licensure process and am currently licensed in Kansas and Missouri. I still love public accounting and helping small businesses be successful.
