Accounting & Tax Services in Hopkinsville, KY
Hopkinsville serves as the primary commercial center for Western Kentucky’s Christian County and the civilian gateway to Fort Campbell, one of the U.S. Army’s largest installations straddling the Kentucky-Tennessee border. Fort Campbell’s 101st Airborne Division and 30,000+ military and civilian employees generate over $3 billion in annual economic impact, supporting hundreds of service businesses, restaurants, automotive shops, and retail operations along Fort Campbell Boulevard and the Eagle Way commercial corridor. The base creates a transient but reliable customer base for property management companies, restaurants, and professional service firms. Beyond military spending, Hopkinsville’s agricultural economy produces dark-fired tobacco, corn, soybeans, and livestock across the surrounding farmland. Manufacturing operations, including Continental Automotive and Johnson Controls, provide industrial employment along the Industrial Drive corridor. SDO CPA works with Hopkinsville business owners across military services, agriculture, and manufacturing to manage the dual-state tax complexity of operating near the Kentucky-Tennessee border, optimize farm income timing strategies, and structure entities for Kentucky’s flat 4.0% income tax. For businesses serving Fort Campbell personnel, we provide monthly bookkeeping that tracks seasonal deployment-related revenue changes and military contract compliance.
