As you drive down Main Street you may notice a new sign that went up at 111 N. Main Street. This location was formerly known as Connie Bennett Bookkeeping & Tax Service. The previous owner sold the building and business to Rebecca Odell in January 2021. Prior to this, Becky had been employed at the office first as office secretary in January 2017, then as a bookkeeper, followed by becoming a registered tax preparer, which is where she found her passion. After several years of working under Mrs. Bennett and obtaining multiple hours of annual continuing education, Becky purchased the business. Contractual stipulations prevented Becky from being able to change the name until after the 2021 tax season. The new name is Becky's Bookkeeping & Tax Service. Becky chose this name because she wanted it to be personal, but to also clearly identify the type of business.
They continue to do tax preparation of all types, including, but not limited to, personal, farm, and business for clients all over the state of Oklahoma, as well as a few from out of state.
In addition to tax preparation the location also provides bookkeeping service to many businesses located in Bristow, Kellyville, Mannford, Broken Arrow and Tulsa.
After purchasing the business Becky repainted and decorated the office with much of the art work being photos taken by local photographer Andy Horton and some she took during family travels making the office appear more warm and welcoming. Her business goal is to have clients leave the office feeling like they received good, personalized service, quality work and were treated as valuable clients. If you haven't seen the sign yet, take a drive down Main Street and take a look.
