Chris Lewis is the CEO of Atlas Accounting Group, taking the helm from Mackenzie Gray to continue Atlas’s mission of delivering elite, industry-specific financial support for contractors and specialty trades. As the founder of Lewis Group CPAs, which acquired Atlas in 2026, Chris saw a perfect match between the two firms. His goal is to give contractors a full financial team: Atlas’s day-to-day operational mastery combined with Lewis Group’s heavy-hitting tax strategy.
Though his official title is CEO, Chris usually describes his role as “machine operator and master juggler.” He is fiercely passionate about helping clients scale their businesses and equally dedicated to helping his staff develop their skills. Chris is a leader who proves that work-life balance actually drives growth. Years ago, he pitched a firm-wide 4-day workweek for eight months out of the year so staff could enjoy three-day weekends. Despite initial skepticism, the team loved it. The firm grew more that year than ever before. He brings that same innovative, people-first philosophy to the Atlas team.
