About Us

If thinking about a tax office has you thinking of stuffy offices, with stuffy professionals, and unanswered questions…or waiting rooms packed to the gills, then you haven’t been to Add-It-Up.

Add-It-Up is not your typical tax office. We want you to drink our coffee, especially if we are drinking it. We know electronic filing is “the wave of the future” and it should be free. We don’t believe your tax return should cost you an arm and leg.

When you leave our offices, you should understand why your tax return is the way it is. No one is treated like a number.

To us, you are a member of the family.

We take pride in those facts.

Not only do we do individual income tax returns, we also offer bookkeeping services. This includes record keeping, payroll, and various business taxes. Our rates are reasonable, and we do not have a monthly minimum price requirement.

Meet Our Staff!

About Vicki Overly

I have been in the tax preparation business for 16 years, performing a wide variety of tasks involved with that career.  I began as a receptionist with a widely recognized tax preparation firm and continued that line of work by taking the tax course, and discovered that I really enjoyed getting to know my clients and finding the most tax deductions I could for them.  Some people call me cheap, I prefer to just think of myself as understanding the value of a dollar and what a little (or a lot) can mean to a family when it comes to making ends meet.  I continued my career by teaching a wide variety of tax courses for the next nine years.  I quickly learned that you absorb more knowledge by teaching than by attending tax courses, and really enjoyed the challenge.  I became an Enrolled Agent for the Internal Revenue Service in 2003, and also studied and passed my series 6 and 63 licenses making steps toward learning the other side of tax preparation, Financial Advisor.  I spent eight years being a Public Relations Coordinator, which was the most challenging and rewarding part of my career.  Now as owner of Add-It-Up I am learning, daily, a whole new set of exciting challenges, and hope the learning continues for years to come.

On the personal side I spent eight years coaching boys soccer for CBYSA, and five years volunteering as a under ten league rep.  I became a referee in 2002, although I have not had much time for that since starting the company.  I also volunteer as the treasurer of the Union Pacific Employees Club and spend some time volunteering at the Union Pacific Railroad Museum.  I have been married to a wonderful man (Dan) for 18 years and have two children (Chelsea) who attends Thomas Jefferson High School and (Matt) who attends Wilson Junior High School.  I enjoy camping and motorcycle riding when the weather permits, and it is not tax season.

I have served as a board member on the Loess Hills Christian School and for the Pottawattamie County Historical Society. I have also been a charter board member and Treasurer of The Pottawattamie County Genealogy Society.

When I’m not doing taxes, I love to spend time with my granddaughters, ages 8 years and 16 months. I also enjoy researching my family roots, gardening, and reading.

About Andrea Henson

I am currently attending Dana College. I want to earn my Bachelor’s degree in public accounting and criminal justice. I like to crunch numbers and I hope to catch “bad guys” in the future. I enjoy school and am learning a lot.

This is my first year professionally preparing taxes. I am looking forward to a rewarding tax year. I have completed a complex tax course and am ready to help tax payers with their tax returns. Right now I am preparing individual tax returns.

When I am not working or studying or trying to catch up on my rest, I enjoy spending time with my friends and family. When we get together we watch movies (my favorite are comedies), football (go Packers and Huskers), and boating.
