Our home county, from Oak Ridge to Norris Lake.

P&L Business Services provides bookkeeping, payroll, and tax preparation for businesses across Anderson County, from our office in Oak Ridge. In December 2026 we move to downtown Clinton, the county seat. We have been doing this work for 35 years, 28 of them in Tennessee.

Anderson County is home. Oak Ridge and Clinton have their own pages, so this one is for everyone else: Norris, Oliver Springs, Rocky Top, and the businesses outside any city limit.

We bill hourly. You pay for the work you actually need, not a package built around someone else’s business.

What We Know About Anderson County

Five cities, one county, and a few lines that are easy to miss.

Some Anderson County towns cross county lines.

Oliver Springs sits in three counties: Anderson, Roane, and Morgan. Oak Ridge reaches into Roane County. Which county your property is in decides where your business tax and tangible personal property return go, and the mailing address will not tell you.

Rocky Top used to be Lake City.

The town changed its name in 2014. Older registrations, bank records, and state accounts can still carry the old name. We make sure the filings match.

You get a person, not a ticket.

When you call, you reach someone who already knows your business. There is no queue and no case number.

Remote whenever you want it.

Documents come to us through our secure client portal or email. Meeting in person is an option you can use when you need it, not an obligation.

Who We Work With

We work with businesses across Anderson County, from owner-operators doing the books on Sunday night to established companies with a full payroll.

That includes trades and contractors, title companies, salons, dental practices, physical therapy clinics, cleaning companies, artists and content creators, and chambers of commerce. See who we serve.

If you are not sure whether you are the right fit, call and ask. It is a short conversation either way.

Serving All of Anderson County

Common Questions from Anderson County Business Owners

Do you have an office in Anderson County?

Yes. Our office is in Oak Ridge, and it moves to downtown Clinton in December 2026. Either way, most of our clients work with us digitally, and we meet in person when it helps.

My business is in Oliver Springs. Which county do I file with?

It depends on which side of the line your property sits. Oliver Springs spans Anderson, Roane, and Morgan counties, and your county business tax and tangible personal property return go to the county your business is actually in. We confirm it before anything is due.

Which Tennessee filings do you handle?

Annual city and county business tax returns, monthly sales tax filings, tangible personal property returns, annual franchise and excise tax returns, and quarterly payroll tax returns. We also serve as registered agent, which keeps your LLC from being administratively dissolved because a notice went to an old address or the circular file.

Do I need a CPA or a bookkeeper?

For most businesses, a bookkeeper handles the ongoing work — recording transactions, reconciling accounts, running payroll, filing sales and business tax returns, and producing financial statements. A CPA is typically brought in for audits, complex tax strategy, or certified financial statements. We handle bookkeeping, payroll, and tax preparation, and we will tell you plainly if something needs a CPA. We work directly with several CPAs and will refer you to them.

How do you charge?

We bill hourly. We do not sell packages, because most businesses do not need the same amount of work every month and we would rather not charge you for hours you did not use.

One conversation tells us whether we are a fit. There is no obligation and no pressure.
