The hospitality industry evolves quickly and having knowledgeble advisors is important so we can focus on running our restaurants instead of trying to keep up with all the changes to the tax code. They take the time to learn both the individuals as well as the business needs and are always quick to respond. When we were looking at an acquisition, KraftCPAs was our first call.”

    Working with KraftCPAs has been a tremendous improvement over our experience with previous audit firms. All members of the audit team were willing to work with us and have a pleasant and helpful attitude. They kept us updated with newer rulings and were willing to answer questions at various times throughout the year. They provide a thorough analysis of our records and prepare the Legal Aid of East Tennessee non-profit firm for future audits by the OIG and others. The advice given by KraftCPAs has been both timely and helpful. I have confidence in their ability to provide both audit and tax services with integrity.
