Welcoming the Newest Staff Accountant to The Southern Bank Team


We’re happy to announce that our team at The Southern Bank is growing once again! As we continue to expand and strengthen our operations, we know that great people are at the heart of our success. That’s why we’re excited to welcome another talented member to our team.

Meet Cole Wells, our newest Staff Accountant. A recent graduate of Clemson University’s Wilbur O. & Ann Powers College of Business, Cole earned his Bachelor of Science in Financial Management with an emphasis in Corporate Finance and a minor in Accounting. At Clemson, Cole served as the News VP and Group Leader for the Clemson Investment Research Club, leading portfolio discussions, analyzing market trends, and delivering financial presentations. His blend of hands-on investment research experience and strong academic background makes him a valuable addition to our team.

When asked what he’s most looking forward to this spring, he shared: “Spending time with family this spring (especially for Easter) and going to the Clemson baseball games as much as I can. Go Tigers!”

We’re thrilled to welcome Cole to the team and look forward to the positive impact he’ll make in supporting our customers through strong, reliable financial operations.
