Last week, we had the honor of celebrating Teri Wingo as our newest partner. Her dedication and hard work have been truly inspiring, and we're thrilled to recognize this incredible achievement. Here's to many more successes together, Teri! 👏

We're excited to officially introduce Teri Wingo as the newest Partner at Abacus! Teri has led the transportation department since 2016. The department caters to the needs of over 4,000 transportation drivers. Under Teri's leadership, the department has built a strong reputation for partnering with drivers who start with a single truck, helping them successfully grow their business to include multiple trucks and employees. During her tenure, Teri’s management resulted in more than tripling the firm's driver client base and significantly expanding its range of services. She has been a leading force of innovation in the firm, including the development of the award-winning Abacus App, which allows clients to track their tax projects in real time, upload documents, and communicate with Abacus Professionals from their smartphones anywhere in the country. Teri's journey at Abacus! is one of dedication and leadership. Starting in a client service role, she quickly rose to supervisor and, in 2016, became a director. In 2023, Teri was recognized as a Springfield Business Journal Trusted Adviser for her commitment to achieving high expectations while also delivering personalized attention. Teri is also a member of this year’s Leadership Springfield Signature Class 47. Teri’s vision for addressing drivers' financial needs has been key to their long-term success. She played a pivotal role in establishing a free daily tax class for drivers, taught by Abacus Professionals, which educates many first-time business owners on the essential financial principles of running a business. Teri's commitment to developing future talent is also evident through the Abacus internship program, where local college students gain hands-on experience in our Transportation Department. Many interns return after tax season or go on to become full-time staff. In addition to her work at Abacus!, Teri is an active volunteer in the transportation industry and in the Ozarks. This year, she guided Abacus! as the CPA partner for the St. Jude's Children's Research Hospital Dream Home Giveaway and has chaired our Abacus Community Involvement Committee Please join us in congratulating Teri on this incredible achievement and welcoming her as a Partner at Abacus!
