Melissa Cordell joined HHM CPAs in 2026 and serves as a Supervisor within the firm’s Dealership Services team. In this role, she works closely with automotive dealer clients on financial reporting, operational analysis, and tax planning strategies tailored to the unique structure of dealership operations. Before joining the firm, Melissa gained valuable experience in a financial analyst role within a large public-sector organization, where she focused on budgeting, financial reporting, and data-driven decision support. This background strengthened her ability to translate complex financial information into clear insights - a skill she now applies to helping dealership clients better understand performance trends and make informed business decisions. Outside of work, Melissa enjoys spending time with family and friends, staying active in her community, and exploring new beaches - she’s never met one she didn’t like. She also loves games of strategy, from board games to card tables, where she enjoys sharing her competitive spirit and teaching her daughters to think creatively and strategically.
