Manager Of Finance Jobs in Tennessee: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a manager of finance in Tennessee?
Most managers of finance in Tennessee start with a bachelor's degree in finance, accounting, or business, then build several years of experience in financial analysis or accounting roles before moving into management. Earning a CPA through the Tennessee State Board of Accountancy or a CMA through the IMA significantly strengthens candidacy, particularly at healthcare systems, publicly traded companies, and government-adjacent employers in the state. An MBA with a finance concentration is increasingly common for roles at director level and above.
Which companies hire manager of finances in Tennessee?
Employers hiring manager of finances in Tennessee right now include DCS, GEODIS, and Experitec, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. Tennessee's concentration of large healthcare systems, logistics companies, and manufacturing headquarters means finance management roles appear consistently across both the private sector and nonprofit institutions statewide.
Which Tennessee cities have the most manager of finance jobs?
Nashville, Athens, and Franklin have the most manager of finance openings in Tennessee. Nashville dominates because of its dense concentration of healthcare headquarters, private equity-backed companies, and corporate regional offices, while Memphis draws openings from logistics, distribution, and manufacturing firms, and Knoxville benefits from University of Tennessee Health Science Center activity and Tennessee Valley Authority finance operations.
Are there remote manager of finance jobs in Tennessee?
Yes, and they are more common than in many management fields, since financial planning and analysis work is largely desk-based and transferable to remote settings. About 67% of manager of finance openings tied to Tennessee are remote or hybrid as of November 2026, reflecting broader corporate adoption of flexible arrangements. Roles focused on financial reporting, FP&A, and budgeting tend to be the most remote-eligible, while positions requiring on-site audit oversight or direct AP and AR supervision are more likely to be in-office.
How can I get hired as a manager of finance in Tennessee with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry path is moving into a manager of finance role from a senior financial analyst or accounting supervisor position, which Tennessee employers such as HCA Healthcare and Nissan North America actively recruit from internally. Completing a CPA or CMA credential while working in a staff finance role dramatically accelerates promotion timelines. Many Tennessee community colleges and universities, including Middle Tennessee State University and the University of Tennessee, offer finance programs that connect graduates directly to employer recruiting pipelines, giving candidates a structured route into management-track roles.
