Start a Conversation with Corey Napier

You don’t need to know exactly what kind of help you need before reaching out.

Maybe you’re dealing with a financial or operational challenge. Maybe you’re planning for growth, evaluating technology, navigating new requirements, or simply trying to figure out what needs attention first.

That’s a good place to start a conversation with Corey Napier.

Corey is Growth Director at LBMC, with a focus on government, real estate, and financial services. For government leaders in particular, Corey brings the perspective of someone who’s sat in your seat. Having served 14 years as mayor of Thompson’s Station, Tennessee, he understands firsthand the challenges of balancing priorities, managing resources, planning for growth, and serving a community.

His role at LBMC is simple: understand what you’re trying to accomplish, ask the right questions, and help determine where LBMC can support you.

What can we talk about?

For government leaders, the starting point could be an immediate concern or something you know is coming down the road.

Maybe you’ve had an audit finding and aren’t sure what needs to change. A cybersecurity incident has raised questions about your controls. A difficult board or commission meeting surfaced financial concerns that need answers. Or you’re looking ahead and trying to determine how you’ll fund roads, sewer improvements, facilities, equipment, or other capital needs.

You may need help strengthening financial operations, addressing compliance requirements, evaluating technology, managing risk, or developing a capital improvement plan (CIP) that gives your team a clearer picture of upcoming projects and future cash demands.

Sometimes the challenge crosses several areas. Corey understands how decisions made in one part of government can affect another and can help bring the right perspective to the conversation.

Who is this for?

Government and not-for-profit leaders facing a challenge, opportunity, or initiative who could benefit from an experienced outside perspective.

What happens next?

If LBMC can help, Corey will connect you with the professionals best suited for what you’re trying to accomplish. If the situation crosses multiple areas of expertise, he’ll help bring those people together.

No need to navigate LBMC’s services on your own.

Talk to Someone Who’s Been in Your Seat

Sometimes it helps to talk with someone who understands the realities of local government firsthand.

As a former mayor, Corey knows there can be a difference between the challenges staff members are managing day to day and the issues that ultimately reach elected officials. He offers a practical perspective without the politics or judgment.

Bring the issue that’s keeping you up at night, the question you’re not sure who to ask, or the challenge you’re trying to get ahead of. Sometimes a conversation with someone who’s been there can help you see the next step more clearly.

Schedule a 30-minute conversation with Corey.
