Accountant Jobs in Tennessee: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a accountant in Tennessee?
To become a licensed CPA in Tennessee, you must meet the education requirements set by the Tennessee State Board of Accountancy, pass all four sections of the Uniform CPA Exam, and complete the required hours of supervised work experience. Tennessee requires a bachelor's degree with a concentration in accounting. Many candidates begin working in staff accountant roles at public firms or corporate finance departments while completing exam requirements and fulfilling their experience hours.
How much do accountants make in Tennessee?
Accountants in Tennessee earn a median of about $76,840 a year, based on May 2025 Bureau of Labor Statistics wage data, ranging from around $49,920 for the lowest 10% to over $122,160 for the top 10%. Pay rises with experience, specialty, and employer.
Which companies hire accountants in Tennessee?
Employers hiring accountants in Tennessee right now include Tractor Supply, MAA, and AmSurg, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. Tennessee's concentration of large healthcare systems, logistics operators, and manufacturing headquarters creates steady, year-round demand for accounting professionals at multiple levels.
Which Tennessee cities have the most accountant jobs?
Nashville, Memphis, and Brentwood have the most accountant openings in Tennessee. Nashville drives the largest share of demand thanks to its concentration of healthcare corporations, professional services firms, and corporate headquarters, while Memphis adds significant volume through its logistics, distribution, and financial services sectors, and Knoxville draws on manufacturing and university-affiliated institutions for consistent hiring.
Are there remote accountant jobs in Tennessee?
Yes, and more than most fields. About 41% of accountant openings tied to Tennessee are remote or hybrid as of November 2026, reflecting how well accounting tasks translate to remote work environments. Roles focused on financial analysis, tax preparation, and management reporting tend to offer the most remote flexibility, while positions requiring on-site audit access or daily collaboration with operations teams are more likely to require in-person presence.
How can I get hired as a accountant in Tennessee with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry path is applying for staff accountant or accounts payable associate roles at Tennessee-based healthcare systems, regional public accounting firms, or large manufacturers that run structured new-graduate programs. HCA Healthcare and similar large employers hire entry-level accounting staff annually, and regional CPA firms in Nashville and Knoxville regularly take on associates from Tennessee's university programs. Sitting for the CPA exam or earning a bookkeeping certification strengthens your application considerably against candidates with similar academic backgrounds.
Where can I find and apply to accountant jobs in Tennessee?
You can find and apply to accountant jobs in Tennessee on Migrate Mate, which lists current openings from employers hiring across the state. Search the available roles, find the ones that match your experience and target location, and apply directly to the positions that fit.
