Peyton Gordon is a Certified Public Accountant with nearly a decade of experience providing tax compliance and strategic consulting services to privately held businesses across the Southeast. As a Senior Tax Manager at Carr, Riggs & Ingram (CRI), Peyton specializes in serving construction contractors, subcontractors, and related industries, helping clients navigate complex tax regulations while positioning their businesses for long-term growth.
Her expertise includes federal and state tax planning, pass-through entity structuring, multi-state taxation, advanced payment and sales tax considerations for contractors, mergers and acquisitions support, and strategic advisory services. Peyton is particularly passionate about proactive tax strategy — helping clients make informed decisions throughout the year rather than reacting at filing time.
Beyond client service, Peyton is deeply committed to strengthening the accounting profession. She is actively involved in the Mississippi Society of CPAs (MSCPA) and has served in leadership roles focused on developing young professionals. She also serves as Treasurer and Finance Committee Chair for The Little Light House of Central Mississippi, where she helps lead financial strategy for the organization’s capital campaign.
Peyton is driven by a desire to develop future leaders in the CPA profession while delivering exceptional value to clients. Her leadership style is hands-on, feedback-driven, and rooted in building long-term relationships based on trust and service.
