Meet The Nerds Who Take The Stress Out of Accounting

Our Story

Low Stress Accounting was born from a simple idea: savvy owners deserve crystal-clear finances without the sleepless nights. Founder Zachary Plattner, CPA balanced ledgers for a larger Nashville-based CPA Firm by day while studying for his CPA license at night —all while balancing life as a National Guardsman on drill weekends. That mix of precision, service, personal rigor, and calm under pressure shapes everything we do.
