Growth spurs move for Phillips, CPA

Jessica Phillips, CPA, Accounting & Consulting Services has grown, so Phillips has moved from the Farragut West Knox Chamber office to a new, nearby location at 102 Chaho Road in Farragut.

FWKCC will help Phillips celebrate the move with a ribbon cutting 4 p.m., Wednesday, Jan. 27, at her new office, where she moved Dec. 1.

Phillips said she moved because her business had grown and she needed a bigger space for support staff. She added the new location offers space to add employees.

“Before, I had only one office for me, so I couldn’t have anyone come in and work for me because there was nowhere for them,” Phillips said. “Here, I have these little nooks, so I could add at least two or three employees.”

Phillips first went into the certified public accounting business in February 2007 in Crossville, where she maintains an office. Then she opened the Farragut office in October 2018..

Along with the convenience of being close to businesses, she said Farragut “has a small community feel to it, so it’s similar to my hometown.

“I like that there are a lot of business opportunities,” she added.

“I like the people I have met.”

Phillips provides the following services: tax preparation, bookkeeping and payroll, tax planning, financial statements preparation and financial reviews.

As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, she has added a feature to her business.

“People can upload tax documents securely, electronically,” Phillips said. “So, people who are not comfortable meeting face-to-face have that as an option.”

Hours are by appointment only. She can be contacted on her website, jessicaphillipscpa.com, her e-mail at jessicaphillipscpa@gmail.com or by calling 865-236-0228.
