Beverly Powell

After graduating from the University of Missouri–Columbia, Beverly went to work at Coopers & Lybrand (now PricewaterhouseCoopers).  She performed audits and prepared income tax returns.  When she went to work for a small accounting firm, she worked with small businesses and individuals assisting them with their accounting needs. Beverly opened her own accounting firm, a goal she set in college.  In 2004, she began working for Truman Heartland Community Foundation as their Chief Financial Officer and later as Chief Investment Officer while maintaining her public accounting practice with the help of faithful, long-time employees. After retiring from Truman Heartland and returning to her accounting practice full-time, in January 2022, Beverly sold her practice to Novak Birks PC.  Since then she has continued to work with clients in her areas of expertise – small business and non-profit accounting services and preparation of corporate, non-profit, and individual income tax returns.
