What the evidence shows
Pricing
82% of the firms on this page say nothing about what they charge. 1 of 17 shows a monthly price or a starting price, and 1 say they quote. Figures the firms publish themselves, as their sites word them: Patrick Accounting ("package starts at $750 per month"). A written scope with the fee and its limits is the thing to ask for on a first call.
Services and process
If you're behind, start with the 1 firm that says it does catch-up or cleanup work. On this page that's Patrick Accounting. Fewer write down the process: 2 of 17 describe onboarding and 3 name a reporting schedule. Nationally 24% of listed firms name a reporting schedule, so this group is below the norm.
Software and remote work
QuickBooks leads the software firms here name (47%); after it come QuickBooks Online 12% and Toast 6%. Remote work is stated by 6 of 17; the filter above the list narrows to them.
Licenses and public records
There's no Tennessee open data for us to match licenses or registrations against, which is why so few firms here reach 70% coverage. A website on its own can't get a firm there. Median evidence coverage here is 69%. Any firm that says it's a CPA practice can be checked on the Tennessee State Board of Accountancy lookup.
The ranking
The numbered firms score between 26 and 41; the median across every scored firm is 23.5. 4 more firms reached 70% coverage with fewer than 6 documented items, so they sit under the list as Also scored, without a number. The top of the list: MB Legacy Consulting (41 at 75% coverage), McCune & Bell (34 at 70% coverage) and Master Taxes Inc. (27 at 75% coverage). Memphis has the most numbered firms (3), and the list spans 2 towns in all. A high-coverage firm with a modest score isn't a weak firm. Its site simply leaves more for you to ask.
