Bellenfant

What Bellenfant does

Bellenfant, PLLC is a privately-held, family-owned CPA firm headquartered at 2919 Berry Hill Drive in Nashville, Tennessee, operating a single-office, full-service accounting practice with approximately 20 staff professionals. Founded by Bob Bellenfant and now led by Managing Partner John Bellenfant, CPA, the firm provides assurance (audit, review, and compilation), tax preparation and compliance, accounting and bookkeeping, outsourced CFO services, and business consulting. Its client base of 500+ individual taxpayers, 100+ corporations, 175+ nonprofit organizations, and 225+ partnerships skews toward vertical specialization in nonprofits and construction contractors, with nonprofit services — including Form 990 preparation, audit assistance, and W-9 support — serving as a clear differentiator supported by a strategic referral partnership with ASNM Webinars.

The firm operates a professional services revenue model with quote-based, engagement-fee pricing and recurring monthly arrangements for ongoing bookkeeping and outsourced CFO work; pricing is not publicly disclosed. Go-to-market is sales-led and inside-sales-driven: clients are acquired through the firm's website, phone, email, and a strong referral/reputation channel — evidenced by a 5.0 Google rating across 92 reviews — and served via direct engagement, in-person meetings, and a digital workflow stack comprising a proprietary client portal, ShareFile for secure document collaboration, and CPA Charge for billing. There is no mobile app, public API, or disclosed AI/automation capability.

Strategically, Bellenfant has prioritized brand building and service-line breadth over geographic expansion, earning two consecutive Inc. 5000 recognitions (2024, 2025) as one of the fastest-growing private companies in America. Operations remain concentrated in the Nashville market with no disclosed plans for multi-office expansion, and the ownership structure shows no external institutional capital, subsidiaries, or M&A activity.
