About

I’m Chris Woodruff, founder of Free State CPA, based in Bonner Springs, Kansas.

I spent over a decade working in public accounting firms before starting my practice. That experience gave me a wide view of how businesses are built, where they struggle, and what good tax planning actually looks like in practice.

Small business has been part of my life longer than accounting has. I grew up around my family’s building supply company in Delaware, and that experience shaped how I work with every client.

I specialize in S-corporation and Partnership taxation, with expertise in construction, service contractors, and real estate. I also hold a Certified Valuation Analyst (CVA) credential through NACVA, which means business valuations for succession planning, gift tax reporting, buy-sell agreements, and SBA purposes.

Every client works directly with me – no handoffs, no multiple layers, just a CPA who knows your situation and stays engaged all year.

When I’m not in a spreadsheet, I’m spending time with my wife and kids, finding new mountain bike trails around Kansas City, or tackling the next home improvement project.
