Krista Hanhauser has been with Southwest Companies since 2017, serving as the Business Office Manager. Her responsibilities include planning and overseeing company finances alongside the General Manager, managing the Accounts Receivable and Accounts Payable team, and implementing changes as the company grows. Although Krista started with limited office experience, she quickly advanced from Administrative Assistant to her current role, receiving training and certifications such as QuickBooks Certified and Notary Public.

Krista appreciates the supportive and caring environment at Southwest Companies, where the well-being of coworkers is prioritized. She values the opportunities for training and continued education that Michael Tomasone supports. One unique perk she enjoys is being able to bring her dog, Slim, to work daily. Driven by the desire to provide a comfortable life for herself and Slim, Krista also enjoys exploring new hiking trails, engaging in continuous dog training, reading historical fiction and fantasy books, and spending quality time with friends and family outside of work.
