Draffin & Tucker

What Draffin & Tucker does

Draffin & Tucker, LLP is a privately held, Georgia-domiciled certified public accounting and advisory firm founded in 1949 and headquartered in Albany, Georgia. The firm operates three offices across the Southeast — Albany (GA), Atlanta (GA), and Mt. Pleasant/Charleston (SC) — and serves enterprise and mid-market clients through consultative, partner-led engagement teams. Over 80% of firm services are devoted to the healthcare industry, including hospitals, physician practices, community health centers, and skilled nursing facilities; the firm reports more than 175 healthcare providers served and 50+ years of healthcare-specific experience, with third-party reimbursement expertise dating back to the first year of Medicare (1967).

The firm delivers seven interconnected core service lines under a unified professional services model rather than a platform-plus-modules architecture: Tax Services, Financial Reporting & Assurance, Consulting & Advisory, 340B Drug Pricing Program Services, Healthcare Reimbursement, Resource Solutions (temporary staffing), and Outsourced Accounting. Niche specializations include 340B program compliance (with team members holding 340B ACE, CIA, and CFE credentials) and Medicare/Medicaid cost reporting. The technology stack is described as standard accounting software and tools, with no proprietary platform disclosed; client collaboration occurs through secure document portals (ShareFile, NetLink). Revenue is generated on a quote-based, project-specific professional services model across 14 served verticals, with healthcare as the dominant vertical and not-for-profit, closely held businesses, construction, cooperatives, craft beverages, and professional services as secondary segments.

The firm is a member of the Leading Edge Alliance and GGI Global Alliance for international resource access, ranks in IPA's Top 300 U.S. public accounting firms (2025), and earned the Best of Accounting 2025 award and a Georgia Trend Best Place to Work designation. Partner Kathryn Fletcher was named to the 2026 Forbes America's Best-In-State CPAs list. Roughly 20 partners lead the firm under Managing Partner Jeffrey S. Wright, with Scott Schlau and Terri Ramey added to the partnership in 2026. Revenue is not publicly disclosed.
