Nearly a decade ago as Chattanooga’s logistics and entrepreneurial eco-system began to bloom, a handful of young accountants launched Market Street Partners in Chattanooga to help local businesses better handle their financial and tax needs.
Kevin Rose and Kyle Bryant, the co-founders of Market Street Partners started in 2016, quickly grew their downtown accounting business to more than 40 employees serving a range of industries and clients from entrepreneurs to billion-dollar corporations with tax, audit and bookkeeping services. In August of 2023, Market Street Partners merged with the Atlanta-based Smith + Howard, which has helped the growing agency to expand its services.
“We grew very rapidly in our early years and realized we could better scale our operations with technology, staff recruitment and back-office operations, as well as offering more types of services, by aligning ourselves with a bigger firm,” Rose recalls.
