Job description

Finance & Accounting Manager

Location: Lincoln, Alabama

Industry: Commercial Trucking / Tractor-Trailer Dealership

Job Summary

We are seeking a detail-oriented and strategically-minded Finance & Accounting Manager to oversee the financial health of our tractor-trailer dealership in Lincoln, AL. This role is a dual-threat position: you will manage the full-cycle accounting (AP/AR, fixed asset, and financial reporting) while also serving as the primary liaison for unit financing, floor planning, and lending relationships.

The ideal candidate understands the unique "unit-based" accounting of the heavy equipment industry and can navigate the complexities of high-value inventory management.

Key Responsibilities

Financial Management & Reporting

  • Prepare monthly, quarterly, and annual financial statements, ensuring accuracy and compliance with GAAP.
  • Prepare departmental KPI reports for Sales, Service and Parts.
  • Manage banking, accounts payable, accounts receivable, and general ledger reconciliation.
  • Oversee the dealership's Floor Plan accounting, including auditing physical inventory and managing interest hits.
  • Coordinate with group CFO for year-end tax preparation and audits.
  • Mentor or oversee accounting clerks or administrative staff as the dealership grows

Sales & Finance (F&I) Support

  • Assist F&I Manager to secure financing for customers by maintaining strong relationships with commercial lenders.
  • Process all sales paperwork, including titles, registrations, and extended warranty contracts.
  • Validate and track sales commissions and gross profit margins on sales units.

Operations & Compliance

  • Manage Alabama-specific tax filings (Sales/Use Tax) and business licenses.
  • Act as liaison for payroll processing and employee benefits administration from corporate office.
  • Monitor cash flow and provide the President and CFO with data-driven insights to improve profitability.

Qualifications & Skills

  • Education: Bachelor's degree in Accounting, Finance, or a related field.
  • Experience: 5+ years of accounting experience, preferably in a dealership (auto, RV, or heavy equipment) environment.
  • Technical Proficiency: Advanced Excel skills and experience with dealership management systems (DMS) such as Karmak, Procede, or CDK.
  • Local Knowledge: Familiarity with Alabama commercial vehicle tax laws and registration requirements.
  • Soft Skills: Strong negotiation skills for lender relations and the ability to explain complex financial data to non-finance staff.

Why Join Us in Lincoln?

Located in the heart of Alabama's industrial corridor, our dealership offers a fast-paced environment with the stability of the essential trucking industry. We provide a competitive salary, performance bonuses, and a comprehensive benefits package.

Note: This position requires a high degree of integrity, as you will be responsible for managing high-value inventory and sensitive financial data.
