Kyle Bryant
Kyle Bryant, CPA, PFS, has joined Chattanooga’s Evergreen Advisors Wealth Management Group as partner. Mr. Bryant comes to the Evergreen team with nearly 20 years of experience in the accounting industry, including roughly a decade of running his own Chattanooga-based firm.
"In his role at Evergreen, Kyle will continue his award-winning client work, bolstering Evergreen’s ability to deliver uniquely tailored services to its ever-growing roster of clients," officials said.
“I could not be more proud of my work in Chattanooga’s accounting space over the past two decades, and I could not be more excited to leverage that experience to strengthen Evergreen’s future trajectory,” said Mr.
Bryant. “At every stage of my career, I’ve taken great pride in helping clients achieve their personal and business financial goals, and I look forward to continuing that work with Evergreen.”
Mr. Bryant’s early career included successful stints at a local CPA firm, TVA and with the venture capital outfit, Lamp Post Group, where he served as director of finance. After helping guide LPG through the acquisition of Access America by Coyote Logistics, Mr. Bryant co-founded his own accounting firm, Market Street Partners, in 2016.
In less than a decade, Mr. Bryant helped grow MSP from a team of just three CPAs to now employing a full-time staff of more than 40 accounting professionals who work with hundreds of clients across the region. In addition to the firm’s headcount and revenue growth, MSP received numerous distinctions under Mr. Bryant’s leadership, from being recognized as a best place to work by local and national publications to being included in Inc. and Financial Times’ fastest-growing business lists, and even earning the Chattanooga Area Chamber of Commerce’s “Small Business of the Year” designation in 2022. Mr. Bryant has also earned numerous personal accolades, including being named a top CPA in Tennessee by Forbes in 2025.
In 2023, Atlanta-based Smith + Howard acquired MSP. Having led MSP through the merger and ensuring the firm is poised for continued success moving forward, Mr. Bryant joins Evergreen Advisors in the next phase of his professional journey to continue his career of advising clients through some of their most complicated and personal financial decisions, officials said.
“If you know Kyle at all, you know why we are excited to welcome him to the Evergreen team as a partner,” said Jim Place, founder and partner at Evergreen Advisors Wealth Management Group. “Yes, he’s talented, but even more importantly, he is a good person. We’ve known him and done business with him for years, and he is that rare mix of competency and kindness. We look forward to his work with our current and future clients.”
