Phillip A. Jackson, CPA, CGMA

Not a preplanned package. A partner in the work.

Phillip brings nearly 30 years of corporate, nonprofit, financial, operational, and board leadership experience to Old Hickory Group.

His approach is deliberately practical: listen closely, identify the real issue, start where meaningful progress can be made, and work alongside the owner to make it happen.

The goal is for you to feel like you have someone in the fight with you—not someone handing you a report from the sidelines.
