Joann M. Abernathy, MBA

Continental Who’s Who recognizes Joann M. Abernathy as a Pinnacle Lifetime Member in recognition of her contributions to the Financial Services field. Abernathy is an Independent Business Owner at McHargue and Associates, a full service financial services firm. The firm offers services ranging from tax preparation for individuals and businesses, payroll, bookkeeping, general ledger, system setup and a notary public. “I work with you on a personal level to determine the best solutions for your unique needs, then leverage my seasoned expertise to achieve the best possible results,” Abernathy said on her company’s website. “I am your trusted partner in success.

My firm is large enough to offer a full range of professional services at a fair price; but small enough to give you the attention that you deserve. I have been working in my profession for 15+ years.” Abernathy earned her Master of Business Administration in Finance from Kennedy Western University. She is certified as a Registered Tax Preparer and is a Certified Pro Advisor® for QuickBooks, both online and desktop. “Rest assured that when a need arises, I am ready and capable to handle everything for you so that you can focus on what matters most,” Abernathy continued.

To further her professional development, Abernathy is a member of the American Association of Notaries, her local Chamber of Commerce and the National Association of Professional Women, which honored her as a VIP Woman of the Year. She also cites Darren DeGouff as a career mentor. When not working, Abernathy gives her time to the Kidney Foundation and charities related to breast cancer awareness. She also enjoys church activities, water sports, boating and reading. Abernathy dedicates this recognition to her mother, Becky Winegoff. For more information, visit www.mchargueandassociates.com.
