Amanda Russ

Controller

Amanda got her start in accounting from a very young age: both of her parents were entrepreneurs. At the age of 14, after taking college accounting classes, she took over their business’ accounting. She then earned a Bachelor’s in Accounting from Stephens Henager College and an MBA in Management from the University of North Alabama, both with honors.

Amanda has over 20 years’ experience as an accountant, executive manager, corporate controller, and financial analyst. Her work has been largely within the construction industry, but she has worked in the mortgage, manufacturing, property management, and rental industries. She is exceptionally well-organized, with a track record that demonstrates attention to detail, self-motivation, and integrity.

She loves spending time with her family and traveling the world when she’s not crunching numbers.
