Bailey & Thompson Tax & Accounting

What Bailey & Thompson Tax & Accounting does

Bailey & Thompson Tax & Accounting is a tax and accounting firm founded in 1973, headquartered in Little Rock, Arkansas, and now operating as an acquired brand under Todd & Associates CPAs. The firm serves small businesses through mid-sized clients, including single-owner businesses, multi-partner practice groups, and corporations with several hundred employees. Its service portfolio spans six integrated lines: Accounting Services, Tax Planning & Preparation, Payroll & Bookkeeping, CFO Consulting, QuickBooks Services, and Business Formation & Continuity, with specialized expertise in agriculture (operating as a leading Agri-CPA in the Delta region), restaurant/hospitality, construction, healthcare, and not-for-profit sectors.

The underlying technology is a conventional professional services stack: cloud-based accounting leveraging QuickBooks, virtual meeting platforms for remote client service, and a secure online client portal for document exchange. The firm does not describe proprietary software, AI tooling, or a platform-plus-modules architecture; service delivery is relationship-led rather than productized. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed, consistent with a custom professional services engagement model. Customer acquisition is sales-led and primarily referral-driven, anchored by four physical offices in Little Rock (headquarters), Hot Springs, and Stuttgart (Arkansas), plus Dallas (Texas), with virtual service extending across the continental United States.

Revenue is generated entirely through professional services fees across the three streams of ongoing accounting engagements, tax preparation and planning, and CFO consulting. The firm's GTM motion relies on direct in-person consultations, community involvement (Chamber of Commerce, Arkansas Society of CPAs), and word-of-mouth referrals. Marketing channels are predominantly organic (social media, professional reputation, community events). The small employee base of 1-10 reflects the Bailey & Thompson standalone entity; the broader Todd & Associates CPAs parent operates with a larger team across all four offices.
