What began as a traditional accounting firm in 1984 with just 12 employees has blossomed into a powerhouse serving more than 11,000 clients across the nation with a workforce exceeding 900. LBMC, now recognized as a top 35 firm in the nation, proudly announces that co-founder David Morgan has been honored with the Tennessee Society of Certified Public Accountants (TSCPA) 2024 TSCPApex Lifetime Achievement Award.

The TSCPApex Awards Program celebrates individuals who devote significant time, energy, and intellect to advancing the accounting profession and fostering its success. The Lifetime Achievement Award, in particular, is bestowed upon a TSCPA member who has demonstrated exceptional leadership, made significant contributions to the profession, and maintained an outstanding record of service to the society and local community.

David Morgan's journey with LBMC is a testament to visionary leadership and unwavering commitment. Co-founding LBMC in 1984, Morgan played a pivotal role in the firm's evolution from a modest enterprise to an industry leader in financial, human resources, technology, cybersecurity, and wealth advisory services. Today, Morgan continues to shape the firm's future as Chairman of LBMC Financial Services, LLC, while his philanthropic spirit endures through the LBMC Cares Foundation, established in 2022.

With a CPA career spanning 48 years, Morgan has been a steadfast TSCPA member, contributing to numerous leadership roles, including TSCPA Board Chair, and serving on the TSCPA Council since 1986. His influence extends beyond TSCPA, with leadership roles in the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants and his alma mater, Tennessee Technological University, where he was recently honored with the Outstanding Philanthropy Award for his enduring support of scholarships and faculty.

"On behalf of the entire LBMC family, congratulations to David on this well-deserved honor,” said Jim Meade, CEO and Managing Shareholder of LBMC, PC. “David’s leadership and contributions have had a profound impact on both our profession and the broader community. His exemplary service and dedication to advancing the field of accounting are unparalleled. David has not only elevated the standards of our industry but also inspired countless professionals at LBMC and beyond.”

Reflecting on the award, David Morgan shared, "I am deeply honored to receive this recognition from TSCPA. When we started LBMC, our goal was to create a firm that not only excelled in providing top-tier services but also made a positive impact on our community. This award is a testament to the hard work and dedication of everyone at LBMC. I am incredibly proud of what we have achieved together and truly believe our best is yet to come."
