Get Access To All JobsTips for Finding Accountant Jobs at First Horizon Bank Jobs
Align your credentials to banking accounting standards
First Horizon operates under federal banking regulations, so CPA licensure or active CPA candidacy carries real weight. Highlight experience with bank-specific reporting frameworks like call reports, GAAP for financial institutions, or SOX compliance in your resume and cover letter.
Verify your eligibility across multiple visa pathways
First Horizon has sponsored H-1B, TN, and F-1 OPT candidates for accounting roles. If you hold a Canadian or Mexican degree in accounting, TN status often processes faster than H-1B and avoids the lottery entirely, which matters if you're on a tight timeline.
Target roles tied to regulatory or audit functions
Positions in internal audit, regulatory reporting, and credit accounting at regional banks like First Horizon tend to require specialized degree backgrounds, which strengthens the specialty occupation argument USCIS evaluates for H-1B petitions. Focus your applications there rather than general finance roles.
Use Migrate Mate to find open Accountant roles
Sponsorship-willing accounting roles at First Horizon don't always stay posted long. Use Migrate Mate to filter and monitor First Horizon Bank accountant openings specifically flagged for visa sponsorship, so you apply during the active hiring window rather than after positions close.
Ask about LCA filing timelines before accepting an offer
Your employer must file a certified Labor Condition Application with DOL before USCIS can adjudicate your H-1B petition. At a regional bank like First Horizon, internal HR processes can add two to four weeks before external filing begins, so clarify this timeline during the offer stage.
Prepare your degree equivalency documentation early
If your accounting degree is from outside the U.S., get a credential evaluation completed before interviews, not after. USCIS scrutinizes degree-to-role alignment for accounting petitions, and having a NACES-member evaluation ready shows employers you understand the H-1B specialty occupation requirements.

Find Accountant at First Horizon Bank JobsFrequently Asked Questions
Does First Horizon Bank sponsor H-1B visas for Accountants?
Yes, First Horizon Bank sponsors H-1B visas for Accountant roles. The bank has an established pattern of supporting international candidates in accounting and finance functions, including filing H-1B petitions and pursuing employment-based Green Card pathways like EB-2 and EB-3. Your offer letter and the supporting Labor Condition Application from DOL are the two foundational documents that start the process.
How do I apply for Accountant jobs at First Horizon Bank?
Applications go through First Horizon Bank's careers portal, where you can filter by job function and location. For international applicants specifically, Migrate Mate lists First Horizon Bank accountant openings verified for visa sponsorship eligibility, which helps you focus on roles where sponsorship is actively on the table rather than screening through postings that may not support it.
Which visa types does First Horizon Bank commonly use for Accountant roles?
First Horizon Bank sponsors H-1B visas most frequently for accounting professionals, and the bank has also supported F-1 OPT and CPT candidates in junior roles, TN visas for Canadian and Mexican nationals with accounting degrees, and J-1 status for qualifying exchange visitors. For longer-term employment, the bank has pursued EB-2 and EB-3 employment-based Green Card sponsorship for accountants in specialized or senior positions.
What qualifications does First Horizon Bank expect for sponsored Accountant roles?
First Horizon typically expects a bachelor's degree in accounting, finance, or a closely related field. CPA licensure or active progress toward it is a strong differentiator, particularly for roles in financial reporting, internal audit, or regulatory compliance. Experience with GAAP, bank-specific financial statements, or SOX internal controls aligns well with the types of accounting work the bank's finance function handles.
How do I understand the H-1B sponsorship timeline for an Accountant position at First Horizon Bank?
Once you receive and accept an offer, your employer initiates a Labor Condition Application through DOL, which typically certifies within seven business days. The I-129 petition then goes to USCIS, with standard processing taking three to six months. If you're on F-1 OPT and your 60-day cap-gap window is a concern, ask First Horizon's HR team early about whether premium processing is available to accelerate the USCIS adjudication timeline.
