Kingsport industrial suppliers, contractors and family firms rely on PSG for accurate books and CFO guidance grounded in the Tri-Cities manufacturing tradition.
Kingsport is a Tri-Cities city in Sullivan County, northeast Tennessee, built along the Holston River as one of the country's early planned industrial towns. Eastman Chemical Company is headquartered here and anchors a large manufacturing and engineering base, supported by machine shops, contractors and industrial suppliers. Healthcare, retail, a revived downtown and outdoor recreation in the surrounding mountains round out the local economy.
Industrial suppliers and contractors in Kingsport need job costing, inventory tracking and management of long payment terms from large customers. Manufacturers require cost accounting and capital planning, while healthcare and retail businesses focus on payroll and margins. PSG maintains accurate monthly books and reporting, and our fractional CFOs help owners reduce customer concentration risk, forecast cash and prepare for growth.
Tennessee has no broad tax on wages, but businesses generally owe state franchise and excise taxes, and many owe a business tax based on gross receipts. Sales tax combines state and local rates.
General information only, not tax advice. Rules change, so confirm specifics with a tax professional.
Yes. We work with Kingsport companies through a dedicated team that is entirely US based, combining Big Four accounting experience with years of operating experience across industries. Your team closes the books on a regular schedule, works inside the accounting tools you already use and looks at your numbers the way an operator would, not just a bookkeeper.
Typically bank and card reconciliations, accounts payable and receivable, payroll support, Tennessee sales tax tracking and monthly financial statements you can act on. Growing companies can add fractional CFO support for forecasting, budgeting and cash planning.
Usually when decisions start to outgrow the books: raising capital or bank financing, opening a new location, making key hires, tightening margins or preparing for a future sale. A fractional CFO adds forecasting and strategic guidance without the cost of a full time executive.
We also work with businesses in Johnson City, Asheville, Knoxville, Hickory and Spartanburg.

Hi! I'm Sam, a financial leader who's managed operations from startups to $40M enterprises.
I've led licensing deals with Disney, Marvel, and Viacom, while overseeing products across 35,000 retail stores. Through SHK Financial, I've helped 15+ high-growth companies succeed, including recovering $2M in receivables for a major client and rebuilding a $10M ARR company's accounting system in 6 months. Now, as Chief Accounting Officer at PSG, I oversee 50+ revenue streams and help launch many successful 8-figure businesses.
My journey started uniquely - while studying finance at Fresno State, I taught both chess and accounting to students, teaching me that success in finance, like in chess, is all about strategic thinking and seeing several moves ahead.
