David Frizzell, founder of David Frizzell CPA, P.C. in Johnson City, has been named the Small Business Champion by the National Federation of Independent Business (NFIB). The award is given to NFIB members who make significant efforts to help the association advocate for the rights of business owners.
Frizzell serves on both the NFIB Tennessee Leadership Council and its Tax Advisory Council, where he helps assess state tax proposals and their effects on small businesses in Tennessee. He is also involved with the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants and the Tennessee Society of CPAs (TSCPA), having previously served as president of TSCPA’s Appalachian Chapter and currently serving on its Federal Tax Committee.
“David Frizzell is an outstanding leader for small businesses in Tennessee,” said NFIB State Director Jim Brown. “He keeps a keen eye on federal and state tax proposals and is very good at identifying legislation that can harm our state’s job creators. He communicates well with his elected officials and continues to have a strong influence on public policymaking at the state and federal levels.”
Frizzell commented, “My association with NFIB and all the organization does for small business has had a positive impact on my business and our clients. NFIB does a tremendous job watching what’s happening in Nashville and Washington, D.C. and communicating with its membership. I’m honored to be part of NFIB and to receive this award.”
Outside his professional work, Frizzell participates in community service through organizations such as the Johnson City Evening Rotary Club, where he is a past president and board member. He and his wife Margaret Ann are active at Piney Flats Presbyterian Church, where he serves as an elder.
