About the Area

Rutherford County Is
Tennessee's Fastest-
Growing County.

Rutherford County is one of the fastest-growing counties in Tennessee, anchored by Murfreesboro — the geographic center of the state. Home to Middle Tennessee State University (MTSU) and a booming auto manufacturing sector led by Nissan's Smyrna assembly plant (one of the most productive auto plants in North America), Rutherford County blends academic energy with industrial might.

The county's explosive population growth has driven a massive surge in retail, healthcare, home construction, and professional services. From Murfreesboro's thriving downtown to Smyrna's industrial parks and La Vergne's distribution centers, Rutherford County is a hotbed for small businesses that need professional bookkeeping to keep up with their growth.
