Kieffer and Rebekah Bailey built KRB Accounting & Consulting with one purpose in mind: to create a family business that truly serves Tennessee’s small business community. After years of watching business owners struggle with fragmented financial support, junior handoffs, and confusing communication, they knew there had to be a better way. Together, they set out to provide something rare: direct, senior level accounting and advisory services delivered with clarity, strategy, and heart.
KRB represents the Bailey family, and that family first foundation shapes the way they serve others. With more than 25 years of combined Controller and CFO experience across manufacturing, engineering, professional services, restaurants, and real estate, the Baileys offer a level of expertise that small businesses rarely have access to. Clients receive PhD, MBA, and CMA level strategy at a flat monthly fee with no surprise invoices and the reassurance that KRB is always just a phone call away. Their goal is simple: to help business owners understand their numbers, make informed decisions, and grow with confidence.
For Rebekah, this work is more than a profession; it is a calling. Years of working closely with small business owners showed her the sacrifices, stress, and uncertainty that come with entrepreneurship. She has seen firsthand how many owners struggle not because they lack passion, but because they lack the right financial guidance. Helping a client go from 14 months behind to fully current, and watching that clarity keep their doors open, is the kind of transformation that fuels her passion. Knowing that her work allows business owners to focus on their dream instead of drowning in financial details is what motivates her every day.
KRB’s impact extends far beyond accounting. Rebekah says, “By helping local businesses become stronger, more profitable, and more sustainable, we help strengthen the entire community. When businesses grow, they hire more people, invest locally, and create opportunities that ripple outward.” She believes education is just as important as compliance, and empowering owners to make confident decisions does not just change their business; it changes lives. Being part of the Chamber of Commerce is a natural extension of that mission.
“We value the power of connection, mentorship, and community support. The Chamber brings together people who are invested in helping one another succeed, and it is an opportunity to support local economic growth and continue our work of helping small businesses thrive. It is not just networking; it is being part of something bigger,” said Rebekah.
Like many entrepreneurs, the Baileys have faced challenges along the way. Navigating growth while staying true to their mission has required learning how to scale intentionally, invest in the right people, and build systems that support long term success. Those experiences now help them guide other business owners through their own growing pains. Every obstacle has shaped KRB into the firm it is today and strengthened their commitment to serving others.
Looking ahead, the vision for KRB is clear. “We want to build more than a business. We want to create a trusted advisory partner that helps small business owners achieve financial clarity, confidence, and long term success. Our dream is for KRB to be known as the firm that truly cares about its clients and becomes an integral part of their growth journey. Whether a client is increasing profitability, hiring employees, buying a building, or creating generational wealth, those victories are the heart of KRB’s purpose. The goal is not simply to grow KRB but to help build stronger businesses, stronger families, and stronger communities.”
Despite spending her days working with numbers, Rebekah says her favorite part of the job is building relationships. She loves getting to know business owners, learning about their dreams, and becoming a trusted resource they can rely on. For her, it is never just about accounting; it is about helping people succeed. That philosophy is captured in KRB’s guiding promise: We focus on the details, so you can focus on the dream.
When asked to offer three words that describe KRB, Rebekah said, “Strategic, Reliable, and Transparent.” Their Monthly Financial Advisory service is where the real transformation happens, and KRB offers a free 30 minute consultation, though Rebekah laughs that it is usually longer because she is a talker.
