Christopher Francis

Chris isn't just famous for his beautiful flowers; he’s also the bearded face at Oak Knoll, where he helps clients with their taxes! Raised in Wilmington, he has always felt a deep connection to the land and a knack for crunching numbers. This unique blend of passions led him to pursue degrees in Farm Management, Accounting, and Urban Planning—showing that he’s just as comfortable with a garden spade as he is with a spreadsheet!

Since joining Oak Knoll in 2016, Chris has become a go-to resource for personal and farm taxes. He’s known for handling tax preparation with precision and providing insightful planning advice. With his knowledge and a bit of humor, he strives to make the tax process as smooth and enjoyable as possible.

When he’s not busy with taxes, you can find Chris rolling up his sleeves at his flower farm, where he works alongside his wonderful wife, Katie. Their partnership blooms not only in their garden but also in their life together, filled with joy, laughter, and a little bit of dirt.

Outside of work and farming, Chris enjoys beards, good coffee, and spending quality time with their two young kids, who definitely keep him on his toes. With his blend of finance, farming, and family, Chris ensures that his clients feel confident in his ability to handle their tax needs.
