KraftCPAs PLLC is one of the largest certified public accounting firms in Tennessee with more than 200 employees and offices in Nashville, Chattanooga, Columbia, and Lebanon.

For entrepreneurs, we’re a multi-faceted partner through every phase of business ownership — from start-up to succession — with support in accounting, bookkeeping, audit and assurance, cost-savings analysis, valuation, and succession issues. We help crunch numbers and cut through red tape so business owners can focus on customers and sales.

When you dreamed of owning your own business, you likely had a lifestyle in mind. And it probably didn’t involve debits, credits, payroll, and taxes. No doubt, accounting and tax work can take the fun out of owning a business. Plus, these time-consuming activities can distract owners from core business functions like product development, sales, and customer service.

Since 1958, we’ve been helping entrepreneurs and established business owners in the creation and preservation of business value and personal wealth. KraftCPAs has a professional staff that is devoted to small businesses — those companies that are owner-operated — whether they are start-ups with big plans for the future or mature businesses that provide the autonomy and lifestyle that many small business owners desire. We serve both types of entrepreneurs — those who plan to operate their business for life and others who plan to grow rapidly and monetize their investment.

Our goal is not only to keep you out of trouble with the IRS, but also to help you achieve your business and personal financial goals, so you can still do the things you love and enjoy owning a business. Clients of all shapes and sizes, from sole proprietors to multi-million dollar businesses, rely on our entrepreneurial services team for accounting, tax, and business advice. We develop a service plan that meets each client’s needs and budget.

Outsourcing is the smart and cost-effective way to get top quality accounting and tax work without adding employees to the payroll. Our services, which range from the basics to specialized engagements, include:

• Maintaining accounts payable
• Maintaining general ledger and journals
• Preparing budgets, cash projections, and forecasts
• Adjusting and closing the books
• Training or assisting your internal staff with accounting procedures and software
• Establishing accounting policies and procedures
• Preparing individual and business tax returns
• Advising on planning and management matters
