— OUR STORY
Serving clients since 2018.
HB Financial Group started as one preparer answering her own phone, and that's still close to how it runs. We've grown to cover tax preparation, bookkeeping, business formation, registered agent service, and more, but the point has stayed the same: answer honestly, do the work correctly, and be there again next year.
We're based at 2815B Rennoc Road, Fountain City, Knoxville, TN 37918, and we work with clients across all 50 states. Tax law doesn't stop at the Knox County line, and neither do we. Whether you're down the road in Fountain City or filing from another state entirely, the same firm and the same preparer handle your file.
— HOW WE WORK
What you can count on.
Straight answers
If something isn't a good fit for your situation, we'll say so before we take a fee, not after.
A licensed signature
An Enrolled Agent signs and stands behind the returns we file, and can represent you if the IRS ever has a question about one.
Secure intake, always
Documents come in through a secure intake form, never over email or text, and stay out of channels that weren't built to hold them.
One firm, whole picture
Taxes, books, and entity questions often touch each other. Keeping them under one roof means nothing gets missed at the seams.
— IN THEIR WORDS
Hear from clients directly.
We'd rather you read unfiltered reviews than take our word for it. Our Google Business profile has the full record, good and bad.
