I graduated from The University of Alabama in 1999 with a Bachelor of Science degree in Accounting. I went on to graduate from Golden Gate University in San Francisco, California in 2002 with a Masters Degree in Taxation. I will be sitting for the CPA exam in the near future. I have over 13 years of experience in accounting. During my 13 years of experience I have gained vast knowledge regarding small businesses, corporations, partnerships, trusts, and estate taxes. My experience also includes high net wealth individuals and asset protection. My proactive style leads me to always strive to be ahead of the issues that come up in everyday business and finances. I believe that a strong foundation of planning will allow my clients to struggle less with issues by being proactive. My experience in life with taxes and the construction industry affords me the ability to apply real-world scenarios to your business in order to stream-line and help improve your business.

KELLIE STEPANEK
I graduated from Georgia State University in Atlanta, Georgia in 2002 with a Bachelors of Business Administration. During this time, I worked at a software development company as the Office Manager. After graduation, I went on to some wonderful companies such as a television advertising firm and a floor manufacturing company. I was able to learn how small to mid-size companies work. I had the opportunity to work in different areas of those companies to understand the big picture of running a company. In the spring of 2005, my husband and I relocated to beautiful Panama City, FL. I worked in a small company as an Accounting Manager and have recently joined the firm of Howell & Golden PA. I have recently finished my Master’s in Accounting and Managerial Finance from Keller Graduate School. I will be sitting for the CPA exam in the near future. I am a certified QuickBooks® ProAdviser. I have over 10 years experience in accounting with a focus on small to medium companies. I work hard to help companies improve and refine existing processes.
