Exciting things are happening at America’s Car-Mart. The exceptional leadership of Deb Washburn, our Controller, has earned her a well-deserved spot on the 2024 Women in Auto Finance list.
The Auto Fin Journal’s prestigious recognition acknowledges outstanding leaders in the auto finance sector of the used-car industry. These leaders play crucial roles in their organizations, offering essential guidance and delivering tangible results.
When Deb joined Car-Mart in October 2016 as Controller, she brought a wealth of accounting knowledge and experience to our company. Her deep understanding of finance principles, reporting, and analysis has greatly contributed to our company’s success. Deb loves the company and what it stands for, and she’s in a job she loves.
“I knew from a young age that I was a numbers person,” says Deb. “My dad worked for NASA, so I grew up believing that ‘failure is not an option.’ I come from a very analytical background, and I love that. I just love accounting.”
We are proud to have Deb as part of our Car-Mart family. Congratulations, Deb! Learn more about Deb in this overview.
