About the practice

A CPA practice built around one person you can reach.

Jenna Carter, CPA is a new, personal firm. The point is simple: careful tax and bookkeeping work, explained in plain language, without the shuffle of a large office.

Meet Jenna

The person you hire is the person who does the work.

Jenna Carter is a Certified Public Accountant. This practice exists so clients can have a direct relationship with their CPA — questions answered by the person preparing the return, not a seasonal desk they will never see again.

The firm is based in Manchester, Tennessee. You can meet in person or drop off documents locally, or send them electronically from anywhere in the United States. Coffee County and nearby towns — Tullahoma, Hillsboro, Shelbyville, Winchester, McMinnville — are home base, not a boundary. New clients are welcome year-round.

How we work

A few things you can count on.

You work with Jenna

This is a personal practice. Your questions go to Jenna, not a call center.

Plain language

You should understand your return and your plan. If something is confusing, we explain it again.

No April-only relationship

Good tax work happens all year. We would rather hear from you in October than scramble in March.

Careful over rushed

We take the clients we can serve well. That means enough time on your file to do it right.

Why a new firm

Small on purpose.

A new practice can take the clients it can serve well. That is a feature. Files get enough time. Questions get answered. Planning is not something that only happens if April is slow.

If you need a 200-person firm with every specialty under one roof, we will say so. If you need a CPA who will stay with your household or your company, you are in the right place.
