Bookkeeping and Tax Services for SoBro Businesses
Bookkeeping, tax advisory, and CFO services for SoBro businesses. Big 4 experience from a Franklin firm that knows Nashville inside and out.
Bookkeeping and Tax Services for SoBro
A decade ago, SoBro was mostly surface lots and a few older buildings south of Broadway. Now it’s one of Nashville’s densest business districts. The Music City Center, hotels, office towers, restaurants, and residential high-rises have packed a lot of economic activity into a small footprint. All of that activity creates businesses that need accurate books, timely tax filings, and financial guidance beyond what a spreadsheet can provide.
We handle bookkeeping, tax preparation, and financial advisory for SoBro businesses from our office in Franklin. The commute is 20 minutes down I-65, though most of what we do happens remotely. Monthly closes, quarterly tax planning, payroll, and the kind of financial clarity that lets you make decisions with real numbers behind them.
Full-Service Bookkeeping
Full-Service Bookkeeping
Transactions categorized, bank and credit card accounts reconciled, books closed every month. You get financial statements that reflect where your business actually stands instead of a best guess based on your bank balance.
Tax Advisory and Preparation
Tax Advisory and Preparation
Tennessee’s tax situation is different from most states. No personal income tax, but franchise and excise taxes that surprise business owners who moved here thinking taxes would be simple. We provide year-round tax advisory and prepare both business and personal returns.
Fractional CFO
Fractional CFO
CFO-level financial guidance without a full-time salary. Cash flow forecasting, budgeting, fundraising prep, and strategic analysis for SoBro businesses that are growing faster than their financial infrastructure can keep up with.
Catch-Up Bookkeeping
Catch-Up Bookkeeping
Books that haven’t been touched in months or years. We reconstruct what’s there, organize what’s missing, and deliver a clean set of financials to build on going forward. Most new clients start here before moving to monthly service.
SoBro Businesses We Work With
SoBro packs a wide range of businesses into a few square blocks. Convention traffic feeds the hotels and restaurants. The office towers house professional firms and growing companies. Retail and food concepts serve the thousands of residents and workers who move through the neighborhood every day. What these businesses share is a need for CFO services for small businesses and reliable financial support that doesn’t require hiring a full accounting department.
We typically work with businesses doing $100K to $5M in annual revenue. Our founder spent years in Big 4 audit at Ernst and Young and built revenue operations at high-growth SaaS companies like Datadog and Miro. That background means we bring depth that most small bookkeeping firms can’t, delivered at a scale that actually fits your business.
Tech Startups
Tech Startups
Nashville’s tech scene keeps expanding, and SoBro is part of that growth. SaaS companies, fintech, and digital businesses that need revenue recognition handled correctly and books that hold up when investors or acquirers start asking questions.
Restaurants and Hospitality
Restaurants and Hospitality
The convention center and Broadway proximity keep SoBro’s hospitality businesses busy. High transaction volumes, tip reporting, food cost tracking, and staffing that fluctuates with event schedules. We keep the numbers current so you know which weeks and months actually work.
Professional and Creative Services
Professional and Creative Services
Consulting firms, creative agencies, architects, and other professional service businesses running out of SoBro’s office spaces. We track profitability by client or project so you can see where your margins are strongest and where work isn’t paying off.
Real Estate Investors
Real Estate Investors
SoBro’s development boom has attracted investors holding condos, short-term rentals, and commercial space. We handle entity-level bookkeeping, track performance by property, and prepare records that lenders and partners can trust.
Frequently Asked Questions
Are you located in SoBro?
No. We're based in Franklin, about 20 minutes south on I-65. We work remotely with all clients, which is how most SoBro businesses prefer to operate anyway. Everything happens through secure file sharing and scheduled calls.
What does monthly bookkeeping cost?
Pricing depends on your monthly expense volume and complexity. We quote a flat monthly rate after reviewing your business so there are no surprises.
Does Tennessee have a business income tax?
Tennessee has no personal income tax, but businesses are subject to franchise and excise tax. Many business owners moving to Nashville don't realize this. We handle the filings and help you plan for them throughout the year.
Can you work with my existing CPA?
Yes. We deliver clean, organized records that make your CPA's job straightforward. If you need tax preparation too, we handle business and personal returns in-house.
What if my books are months behind?
That's a normal starting point. We do catch-up work to bring everything current, then move into regular monthly bookkeeping from there.
