Tina Workman

It took me a while to figure out how to build a career around my love of numbers and my need to truly connect with people, which is why I come to this work by way of a winding road.

I started out in accounting, spending a few years in accounts payable, accounts receivable, and staff accounting positions. I was good at the work, but I knew something was missing…mostly, people! A family friend who owned her own business suggested I try H&R Block's income tax preparer course, so I did. By my second week of sitting across from real clients, solving real problems, I was completely hooked. I loved the dynamic of it: the focused numbers work and the face-to-face conversations, both in the same day. That combination felt like exactly what I'd been looking for.

A job posting online brought me to Beck Bode. But what made me stay through every interview and every conversation was a feeling I hadn't expected. When I read through the team's bios on this website (just like you are, now), I related to something in every single one. The firm's culture, its values, the way people talked about their work and their lives felt like home to me.

I love learning new things, and right now I'm channeling that into studying for the Enrolled Agent exam, an IRS credential that allows me to represent taxpayers. It's a big undertaking alongside caring for my family, but one step at a time, I trust I will get there.

Outside of work, I'm a big fan of exploring new places, long walks in the woods, and spending quality time with my family. I’ve lived in Puerto Rico, New Zealand, and Hawaii. I love a warm and sunny place!
