Atley Davidson, Owner

“CMA offers bookkeeping PLUS business consulting. You feel kind of isolated sometimes as a small business owner so having someone to bounce ideas off of goes a long way to help solve that problem.”

“There are lots of different bookkeepers out there, but CMA personalizes the process. We … work with them on a daily basis to bounce ideas off to actually grow the business instead of just tracking the business.”

Don Otis, CEO (Retired)

Heritage Health Food

“What I value in my relationship with CMA is that beyond financial acumen, beyond financial counselling is the personal trust and relationship that we’ve developed through the years. You can get financial counsel and advise but you can’t always get it with the relationship and trust that we have with CMA.”

“We’ve had many obstacles. One of the best things I experienced early on with our company was running into Ken. He actually came aboard with us and played a major role in our financial structure and helped me a lot of our financial pillars that we now have today.”

Lynn Holcomb, Owner

Expedia Cruises

“I quit corporate America and started a business with ZERO….five years later, we’re a $3M company! CMA has been with me since the beginning. They keep me honest and out of trouble. When I met them, we clicked. I’ve been comfortable since day one. I feel like they care about me and I care about them. I feel safe with them.”

Emily Cline, CFO

Invicta Partners

“Technology and IT are more prevalent than ever. If we can provide the right tools and solutions, it’s a win-win. Just like our mission is to care for our customers and take care of them, that’s what CMA does for us. They’re not just another vendor. It’s a partnership. They partner with us through payroll, tax filings, K-1s and getting everything compliance oriented taken care of and that’s been wonderful.”

“Whenever we have a question there’s immediate response, immediate guidance as to what needs to be done…. We feel that we are supported because…things are always changing. To have somebody who has a finger on the pulse at all times to help guide us has been extremely beneficial as we work through our startup.”

Jim Peace, CEO/President

Peace Communications

“They go outside of your comfort zone. They can read balance sheets. They can read income statements, but they really went one step further and really wanted to learn our business and that’s really made the difference for us. They’re really looking at how to best protect the client.”

John Heintz, Owner

Bright & Shiny Blinds

“I do appreciate the way that CMA is able to take a look at my bank statements and pull all the information they need and I don’t have to supply a lot. It’s very low maintenance on my end….it helps to keep our focus on the operations of the business…it’s relieved a lot of headache for me.”

Tim Caldwell, Owner

Highland Tire and Auto Service Inc

“CMA breaks the barriers of other accountants…they have more of a personal touch with everyone.”

Katherine Fry, CEO/President

“Before CMA, we tried to handle the books internally. Once we switched to CMA, everything changed. I will always have CMA meeting with me once a month. We will know always exactly where we are, where we’re going and what our goals are.”

Marty Burkhart, Owner

Care Patrol of Greater Chattanooga

“I chose CMA because it just seemed like the right fit. They understood what I was doing and what my needs were going to be as a new business owner. I would recommend CMA to friends because of the personal relationship and personal interest that they take in me and my business.”
