About Us
A Franklin Institution You Can Trust
Waters Financial Services has been a cornerstone of the Franklin business community since 1998. What started as a small practice focused on individual tax preparation has grown into a full-service financial firm serving individuals, families, and businesses throughout Middle Tennessee.
We believe that financial clarity shouldn't be complicated. Every client — from the freelance professional to the established business owner — receives the same level of attention, integrity, and expertise. We take the time to understand your unique situation and build strategies that actually work for your life.
We've been in Franklin for over two decades. We understand Tennessee tax law, local business dynamics, and the unique financial challenges of Middle Tennessee communities.

No Jargon, Just Clarity
We explain your finances in plain language. No confusing terminology, no pressure — just clear, actionable advice you can actually use to make better decisions.
03
Proactive, Not Reactive
We don't wait for tax season to reach out. Throughout the year, we identify opportunities, flag issues early, and keep you on track toward your financial goals.

Your Success Is Our Metric
Many of our clients have been with us for over a decade. That loyalty isn't accidental — it's built on delivering real results and treating every client like a neighbor.
Waters Financial has been handling our taxes and bookkeeping for over eight years. They're thorough, responsive, and always proactive about finding ways to save us money. I recommend them to every business owner I know.
After years of struggling with my taxes on my own, I finally found a team that makes it simple. They walk me through everything, answer every question, and I actually look forward to tax season now.
When we started our restaurant, Waters Financial helped us set up payroll, bookkeeping, and a tax strategy that actually made sense for the food service industry. They've been with us every step of the way.
