When Justin discovered accounting as an elective in college, it just seemed as though everything clicked. He has been pursuing excellence in accounting and business development since graduating with his master’s degree from the University of Tulsa in 2001. Early in his career, he received a Trailblazer award from the Oklahoma State Society of CPAs which honors the recipient’s innovation, professional dedication and community commitment. Justin found he is energized by meeting people and helping clients discover how Stanfield + O’Dell can help accomplish their goals. “I really enjoy working with business owners who are passionate about their business.”
Justin believes the barometer for his own professional success is measured by how much he contributes to the success of his clients. Justin has used his skills and knowledge to help Stanfield + O’Dell clients in his specialties of consulting, tax planning and preparing business valuations. He is a member of the Forensic and Valuation Services section of the AICPA and the National Association of Certified Valuation Analysts. By filling a role that many organizations do not have in-house, Justin has seen many business owners better achieve their goals.
Justin enjoys spending time with his wife of over 20 years and their two children. He explains that they are why he works so hard. Justin believes that his drive to take care of his family is what is behind his commitment to excellence at Stanfield + O’Dell. “I can relate to clients because of my personal experiences. My clients are more than a name or a number; they are real people with real goals and real families.”
