For over 10 years, Branden Wilson has worked with a broad range of automotive related clients, ranging from single-point independent and franchise dealers to multi-point dealers and finance companies servicing more than $1 billion in lease and BHPH portfolios. Due to the depth of his experience, his clients rely on his insight into operations and view him as an “outsourced COO” in many ways. Though Branden primarily works with auto dealers, Branden also provides assurance, tax and advisory services to clients of various sizes and industries. His work ethic and attention to detail have developed him into a leader within both the audit and tax departments, where he provides a broad range of services, ranging from complex GAAP accounting and consulting to proactive tax planning and preparation. While much of his time is spent serving clients located within Chattanooga and the surrounding areas, his multi-state tax experience has allowed him to service clients throughout the Northeast, Midwest and Southeast parts of the US. Branden resides in Cleveland, TN with his wife, daughter and two sons.
