Internal Controls & Reconciliations

  • Oversee all accounting schedules (AR/AP, CIT, Vehicle Payable, Lien Payable, NextGear, etc.)
  • Investigate and resolve aged/unusual balances
  • Ensure tax filings, loan payments, and recurring obligations are submitted on time
  • Maintain documentation for audits, reconciliations, and compliance reviews

Payroll & Benefits Oversight

  • Review payroll runs prepared by the Office Manager: verify commissions, chargebacks, and adjustments
  • Approve payroll journal entries and track liabilities
  • Coordinate benefit renewals and ensure tax compliance

Team Leadership & Collaboration

  • Supervise Accounting Clerks across both rooftops; provide training, accountability, and support
  • Partner with the Office Manager, Title Clerk, and Deal Processor to ensure clean interdepartmental handoffs
  • Drive SOP consistency and accuracy across all accounting functions

Strategic Financial Support

  • Provide profitability analysis, financial insights, and decision support to the GM/Owner
  • Identify and flag trends, errors, or anomalies in expenses or deal profitability
  • Lead CPA prep and year-end audit readiness

Qualifications:
  • 2–5+ years of dealership accounting experience (Controller or Office Manager level required)
  • Mastery of month-end close, reconciliations, and GAAP compliance
  • Experience with Dealer Management Systems (DealerTrack)
  • Proven ability to lead, train, and hold accounting staff accountable
  • Organized, detail-oriented, and capable of meeting tight deadlines
  • Strong communication skills with leadership and team members

About Company
  • Two high-performing locations selling 140+ vehicles per month
  • Proven systems, strong leadership, and clear expectations
  • Performance-focused, no-drama culture
  • Expansion plans with real advancement opportunities
  • We value integrity, accountability, and people who show up ready to work
