A CPA who already knows how to read the whole picture.

Merrit Mitchell is a Texas-licensed Certified Public Accountant. Before stepping into financial leadership in Fort Worth in December 2025, she spent five years building her accounting career in Texas industrial and manufacturing finance — most recently as Accounting Lead at Lennox, and before that in cost and general accounting roles at Dynacraft, a PACCAR company.

She earned both her Bachelor of Business Administration and her Master of Science in Accounting from the Rawls College of Business at Texas Tech University, and was licensed as a CPA by the Texas State Board of Public Accountancy in January 2023.

Merrit started Stewardship Tax Consultants to put that same discipline to work for individuals and small businesses — not just Stewardship's own clients. As a CFO, she reads a full set of books every month; as a tax preparer, she applies that same habit of looking at the whole picture before she signs a return.

Outside the Office

Merrit has volunteered with Women In Business at Texas Tech since 2018, mentoring students entering the accounting field, and earlier volunteered with a community food pantry near her hometown in the Texas Panhandle.
