Master Financial Partners

Josh Smith, the founder of Master Financial Partners, has been a business owner, a real estate investor, and a disrupter for over 15 years. Starting a business from nothing, Josh has been able to see nearly every business challenge as he went from just him and his son to over 150 employees that serviced over 6,000 customers per year with operations spanning 3 states. One of his last companies, Master Service Companies (formerly known as Master Dry) was a market leader in residential waterproofing and foundation repair. In August of 2019, Josh took an opportunity to sell that company to one of the largest companies in that industry. Josh has also been involved with real estate investing and has transacted over $20m in residential and light commercial investments. If you research his story, you will learn that Josh and his wife Tracy are very committed to their faith and giving. They committed several years ago and set a max net worth for their family and committed to giving anything more than that away to make an impact in the lives of others. With the resources from just that last company sale, Josh founded the 4th Purpose Foundation with over $10m dollars. This foundation is focused on changing the lives of those who are incarcerated, helping them to become productive members of our society. With the rest of the proceeds from the sale of that company, Josh started Master Financial Partners with the hopes of making strategic investments that would allow him to invest in Knoxville real estate and businesses, to then again take those profits and invest even more into organizations that help change the lives of others. Through the use of opportunity zone investment, Master Financial Partners was founded to fuel a ‘lifetime of good’ through the 4th Purpose Foundation, while transforming communities around Knoxville, Tennessee.
