Common Questions from Clinton Business Owners
When does your Clinton office open?
Our office moves to downtown Clinton in December 2026. Until then, we are at 109 W. Tennessee Ave. in Oak Ridge, and we already work with Clinton businesses from there.
Do you work with businesses outside Clinton?
Yes. Our clients are spread across East Tennessee, from Anderson County to Knox, Roane, Blount, Loudon, and Sevier counties. Most of the work happens digitally, so distance matters less than it used to.
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.
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.
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.
