Hi, I’m Karen Abbenante, founder of Abbenante & Associates CPA. I started this firm in 2021 with a simple mission — to provide honest, reliable, and personal accounting and tax services to the community I love.

I was raised right here in Okeechobee, Florida, and it’s an honor to serve the same community that shaped who I am today. After earning my bachelor’s and master’s degrees in accounting from Florida Gulf Coast University, I gained valuable experience working in both private and public accounting. Those years taught me not only the technical side of taxation & accounting, but also the importance of building genuine relationships with clients.

At Abbenante & Associates CPA, we believe that every client deserves personalized attention. Whether you’re a small business owner, a growing company, or an individual planning for the future, we take the time to understand your goals and help you make confident financial decisions.
We’re not just here at tax time — we’re here all year long to guide you, support you, and celebrate your successes.
