We appreciate people who are confident in their abilities, comfortable asking questions, willing to speak up, and able to have honest conversations when challenges arise. This is an environment where people are expected to take ownership, communicate openly, accept feedback, and focus on solutions rather than take things personally.

• Help lead the daily operations of the dealership business office, keeping workflow organized and priorities on track.

• Lead, train, coach, and support office and accounting team members.

• Oversee accounts payable, accounts receivable, deposits, bank reconciliations, and general ledger activity.

• Review vehicle deals, contracts, funding, and related paperwork to ensure everything is accurate and complete.

• Maintain accurate accounting schedules, financial records, and supporting documentation.

• Prepare and review accounting reports and assist with monthly financial statements and month-end closing.

• Monitor outstanding receivables and follow through on discrepancies and outstanding issues.

• Work with department managers to resolve accounting questions, improve processes, and keep things moving.

• Assist with payroll-related accounting, required reporting, and dealership documentation.

• Help maintain strong internal controls and compliance with applicable financial and regulatory requirements.

• Look for ways to make office processes more efficient, accurate, and organized.

• Step in and provide hands-on support wherever needed to keep the office running smoothly.

• Perform other duties necessary to support dealership operations.
