A Knoxville firm that works with service businesses across the US.
Bennett Financials was founded by Arron Bennett in 2018 and is headquartered at 800 S. Gay Street, Suite 700, Knoxville, TN 37929. We are a fractional CFO and tax planning firm, and we work with one kind of client: established service businesses doing roughly $2M to $20M a year that have outgrown their bookkeeper but are not ready to put a full-time CFO on payroll.
The engagement runs the same way for a Knoxville firm as it does for a client in another state: one senior CFO who stays with you, a team behind them doing the volume, and a monthly meeting where the numbers turn into decisions. Being local does change one thing — Tennessee’s tax rules are home ground for us, not an afterthought.
No income tax on your salary. Plenty of tax on your entity.
Owners moving here, or comparing notes with peers in other states, often assume Tennessee is a low-tax state across the board. For the owner personally it can be. The business is a different story, and the entity decisions that save money federally do not always carry over.
None of this is exotic, but it is routinely planned around federal rules alone. Our tax planning work models the state and federal picture together before year-end. Rates and rules change, so every figure is checked against current Department of Revenue guidance for your facts.
One system, installed in 120 days.
The core system is live within 90 days and the full sprint completes by day 120. The phases overlap by design, so tax work starts while the books are still being rebuilt.
Books you can make a decision from.
We take the books in whatever state they are in, rebuild the chart of accounts so every dollar maps to delivery, sales & marketing, or G&A, and deliver a clean monthly close.
Tax and margin move to the front.
With reliable numbers in place, the tax strategy is set against your entity structure and revenue trajectory, federal and Tennessee together, and margin targets are set against the 60/15/15 standard.
A CFO in the room every month.
Forecast, budget against actuals, and cash flow run on a monthly rhythm with your CFO. Returns can be prepared from the same books, and exit planning starts whenever a sale is on the horizon.
Ongoing engagements are $5,000 per month. See pricing and what is included.
It starts with the Leak Check.
