Capital Advisors · Nashville, TN
A real finance team for Music City businesses. CPAs, attorneys, and accounting professionals you can actually call — same person every month.
Nashville's economy has changed dramatically in the past decade. The mix of healthcare giants, music and entertainment, hospitality, fast-growing professional services, and the wave of new businesses relocating from higher-tax states has created an accounting environment that's anything but standard.
Capital Advisors works with Middle Tennessee businesses across the spectrum — from healthcare practices to hospitality groups to founder-led service businesses scaling fast. We understand Tennessee's specific tax environment (no state income tax but plenty of franchise and excise complexity), the multistate complexity for businesses serving the Southeast, and the operational rhythms that come with a fast-moving market.
Same four service lines as our other markets, with Nashville-specific expertise built in.
Monthly reconciliations, clean chart of accounts, and a financial close you can actually trust. We handle the mess so you don’t.
Federal, state, and multistate tax filings handled on time. Apportionment, sales & use tax, and nonprofit Form 990 work included.
QuickBooks, payroll, AP/AR, and time tracking set up to actually work. We integrate tools so you stop duplicating data entry.
Strategic finance support without the full-time hire. Cash flow forecasts, board reporting, and a real person to call when you need to make a decision.
Our Nashville client base reflects Music City's economy — a mix of healthcare, hospitality and entertainment, professional services, and the businesses serving Tennessee's growth.
Tennessee has no personal income tax, but it makes up for it with a franchise and excise tax structure that surprises a lot of Nashville business owners. The excise tax is based on net earnings; the franchise tax is based on the greater of net worth or the value of property used in the business — so a capital-intensive operation can owe franchise tax even in a lean year. Both require careful apportionment for businesses operating across state lines.
Nashville’s economy concentrates healthcare, music and entertainment, and hospitality — each with its own wrinkles, from multi-payer medical billing to royalty income and K-1s to daily sales and tip-out reconciliation for restaurants. We handle the F&E calculations and the industry-specific accounting these Middle Tennessee businesses actually run on, rather than forcing them into a generic template.
Do you serve businesses outside metro Nashville?
Yes. Our Nashville team supports clients across Middle Tennessee — Brentwood, Franklin, Murfreesboro, Hendersonville, and the broader region. Most engagements run remotely with periodic in-person meetings as needed.
Can you handle Tennessee's franchise and excise tax?
Yes. F&E is one of the more confusing parts of doing business in Tennessee. We handle franchise tax (based on net worth or property), excise tax (based on net earnings), and the apportionment calculations for multistate businesses based here.
Do you work with healthcare practices?
Yes. Healthcare is a meaningful part of our Nashville practice. We handle multi-payer billing reconciliations, partnership tax for medical groups, and the specific compliance requirements that come with practicing in a heavily-regulated industry.
How much does outsourced bookkeeping cost?
Engagements typically range based on transaction volume, number of accounts, and complexity. We give you a flat monthly fee in week one — no hourly billing surprises. Cleanup work is quoted separately as a one-time fee.
Will I always get the same person?
Yes. Each client is assigned a senior bookkeeper as their primary contact, with a CPA reviewing the work. You won't be passed around to a rotating cast.
A 20-minute call. No pitch, no obligation. We’ll listen, ask a few questions, and tell you honestly whether we can help.

“We have multiple businesses and fired our finance leader because he couldn't manage back end effectively. Cap's deep experience both in the weeds in bookkeeping combined with their strategic finance experience enabled them to get up to speed quickly. They were able to take our “dog's breakfast” financials, get them in order and help us get our first clear big picture look. Great experience.”

“We work with two members on Heather's team. They have been a huge help to our pool installation business. They keep everything organized. From invoices to job costs, everything is handled accurately and on time. They’re easy to talk to, quick to answer questions, and always willing to explain things when needed. Having someone we can trust with the numbers has taken a lot of stress off our plate and lets us focus on building great pools. We truly appreciate their work! Thank you!”

“We have a complicated business with multiple entities. Our books were a mess. Heather and Team transferred us over to QB and had us sorted out in a month. We went from wondering if our business would remain soluable to firing on all cylinders. Couldn't have done it without them.”
