We are not a tax-preparation office. Franklin Financial is the financial operations team for East Tennessee owner-operators who need clean books, dependable payroll, and a CPA who answers the phone the rest of the year.
Books that close on time, every month.
Monthly bookkeeping for owner-operators and growing East Tennessee businesses. Reconciled accounts, clean categorization, and reports a non-accountant can actually read.
On time, accurate, and off your plate.
Reliable payroll for small and growing businesses. We handle the runs, the filings, and the year-end paperwork so you and your team can focus on the work.
Strategy first. Filing second.
Year-round tax planning so every business decision — hiring, equipment, distributions, growth — is made with the tax picture clearly in view, then filed by the same team.
QuickBooks that actually reflects your business.
Setup, cleanup, and ongoing QuickBooks Online support. We design a chart of accounts, classes, and integrations that match how your company really runs.
A CPA on call when the next decision is on the table.
Quarterly business reviews and strategic conversations — the financial partner you call before any meaningful decision gets made for your East Tennessee company.
From entity formation to your tenth employee.
Founding a company in Blount County or Knoxville? We help new and growing business owners build the financial foundation the right way, from day one.
Franklin Financial is built for the East Tennessee business owner who wants their CPA on a first-name basis — not on hold. We take on a limited number of new clients each year so the work stays personal, the advisory stays strategic, and our team has time to actually answer your call.
Best fit: companies in the Louisville, Maryville, and Knoxville area that have outgrown DIY bookkeeping and want a real financial operations partner moving into their next phase of growth.
A 30-minute call with a CPA — no fee, no pressure. We'll listen, get a feel for your business, and tell you exactly what we think the next step should be.
