Tennessee bookkeeper FAQs

What is the difference between a bookkeeper and an accountant in Tennessee?

In Tennessee's business-friendly economy, bookkeepers and accountants fill distinct roles.

A bookkeeper manages your daily financial records. They are foundational, handling data entry, bank reconciliation, accounts payable/receivable, and payroll. This includes federal tax withholdings and paying state unemployment taxes to the Tennessee Department of Labor & Workforce Development.

An accountant acts as a financial strategist. They analyze the bookkeeper's data to prepare financial statements, provide business advice, and, crucially, handle tax planning and preparation. While Tennessee has no state income tax on wages, accountants help businesses navigate federal taxes and specific state obligations like the Tennessee Franchise and Excise Tax, the local Business Tax, and sales tax filings.

When should I hire a bookkeeper?

It's time to hire a bookkeeper when:

  • You are spending more than a few hours each month on bookkeeping tasks yourself.
  • Your financial records are falling behind or becoming disorganized.
  • You are not confident in the accuracy of your financial reports.
  • You are preparing to apply for a loan or seek investment.
  • Your business is growing, and the number of transactions is becoming overwhelming.
  • You need to focus your time on growing the business rather than on administrative tasks.

How much does it cost to hire a bookkeeper in Tennessee?

According to Bark data, the average price of a bookkeeper per hour in Tennessee typically ranges from $47.50 to $55, however this figure will differ depending on the scope of work, transaction volume, and the bookkeeper's experience.
