Grayson & Associates, P.C.

Grayson & Associates, P.C. is a newly founded CPA firm launched in May 2026 in Murfreesboro, Tennessee. We serve clients across a variety of industries, with a particular focus on construction contractors and not-for-profit organizations, along with real estate, manufacturing, and other industries.

We use CCH Axcess for tax preparation and workflow, and are looking for someone who can help lead a growing tax practice, supervise tax staff, and build strong client relationships.
