About Me

I was born and raised in Montana, and spent 10 years working in the oilfields of North Dakota. I ran a trucking business for five years before moving to the great city of Knoxville, Tennessee. I made some real estate investments in the Great Smoky Mountains before I decided to launch my bookkeeping business.

My motivation came from my own experiences running a business, understanding the importance of having clean books. I want to be a valuable resource for other small business owners who are struggling to find a reliable bookkeeper.

When you hire me, you will know exactly who is working on your books and who to contact. I want my clients to be at ease knowing I am actively working on their financials on a weekly basis, and they should never hesitate to try and reach out to me with any questions.

We clean up messy books and help you start fresh when needed. Every transaction is tracked in QuickBooks, giving you accurate, reliable financials you can actually trust.

Each month, you’ll receive a Profit & Loss and Balance Sheet so you always know where your business stands. No guessing, and no falling behind.

Whether you need a full cleanup or ongoing monthly bookkeeping, we make sure your books stay current and you’re always prepared for tax time.

We work with a variety of industries, with specialized experience in real estate and construction. From tracking individual properties to job costing for projects, we help ensure your financials reflect the details that matter most.

If you need help with year-end tax filing, we can connect you with a trusted accounting partner so everything is handled in one place.

  • We’ve been working with Brett since the beginning of the year, and the experience has been excellent. He communicates clearly, stays on top of everything, and has really helped refresh and organize our books to run much more efficiently. We found him after not having the best experiences with several others and our experience with him has been a much needed relief. Overall, we’re very happy with his work and highly recommend his services.

  • “I work closely with Brett Cline, and I can’t recommend him highly enough. His bookkeeping is accurate, consistent, and well-organized, exactly what you want if you care about clean financials and stress-free tax filing. Brett is proactive, communicative, and genuinely invested in his clients’ success. When he refers tax work to me, I know the books are solid and that the client has been well taken care of throughout the year. That level of trust is rare. If you’re looking for a bookkeeper who actually understands the bigger picture and works seamlessly with your tax professional, Brett is the real deal.”

    —Megan McMann, Accountant

  • “Brett is a pleasure to work with. He has taken a tremendous load off our plate and has went above and beyond to help us. Thanks Brett!”

    —Ryan Ritter, Insurance Agent

  • I can’t recommend Cline Bookkeeping enough. We originally connected through mutual circles, and what stood out right away was how proactive he was about following up and earning my business. After I checked references, it made sense—multiple business owners told me he did an incredible job cleaning up their books, and even the CPA he recommended (who sees his work across several clients) had nothing but great things to say about the quality of his work. I’ve been working with him for a few months now, and he’s been phenomenal. I honestly thought my books were in pretty good shape… I was wrong. He cleaned things up thoroughly and organized QuickBooks in a way that finally makes sense for my construction business. He set up accounts and reporting so I can run accurate profit & loss reports across multiple years—which is huge when project expenses and income don’t fall neatly in the same calendar year. He also showed me capabilities inside QuickBooks I didn’t even know were possible. He’s consistent, detail-oriented, and stays on top of everything with weekly check-ins and proactive reports (even when I don’t ask). If you want a bookkeeper who is sharp, thorough, and genuinely invested in getting your numbers right, this is your guy!
