Dana Abernathy came to Tax Time in January 2013. Since his college days, Dana has done the taxes, bookkeeping, accounting and other financial aspects for himself, others and the two successful businesses he developed. After he retired from his full-time career, Dana says he was getting restless at home, until Andrea and Becky invited him to add his more than four decades of experience to their organization.
Dana and his wife, Joyce, have four children and six grandchildren.

In 2024, our dear friend and retired co-founder, Becky Portwood, was involved in a tragic auto accident while on vacation with her husband in Alaska in July. Unfortunately, Becky did not survive. Our sincere condolences to her family - including three children, seven grandchildren, and three great-grandchildren - and her many friends and former clients.
