KraftCPAs Names Chris Hight as Next Chief Manager

Chris Hight has been announced as the new chief manager of KraftCPAs, replacing retiring chief Vic Alexander, who has led the firm for 31 years. Hight, who has served nearly two decades at the firm, will step into the role on November 1, 2024, and promises to maintain the firm's autonomy and relationship-first approach.

Chris Hight has been selected as the next chief manager of KraftCPAs, stepping into the leadership role on November 1, 2024, following the retirement of longtime chief Vic Alexander. Alexander, who has led the firm for 31 years and served 43 years total, will transition to an of-counsel role and continue litigation work through Kraft Analytics.

Hight has served as member-in-charge of assurance services, with nearly two decades at KraftCPAs. His leadership includes guiding the manufacturing/wholesale/distribution team and the employee benefits plan team, and prior executive experience includes a CFO role in the telecom sector and audit management at a national firm.

The firm credits Alexander with transformative growth across Tennessee, including acquisitions in Chattanooga and Lebanon, and a legacy of community involvement. More than 60 KraftCPAs employees now serve on nonprofit boards, a testament to the culture he fostered. Under his watch, the firm earned accolades from Accounting Today, AICPA, and the Tennessee Society of CPAs.

Calling the transition a “planned and seamless succession,” Alexander praised Hight’s dedication and institutional knowledge. Hight, in turn, affirmed his vision to sustain the firm’s autonomy and its relationship-first approach, cementing KraftCPAs’ status as a premier full-service accounting firm in the region.
