This role is ideal for someone who thrives in a fast-paced environment and is passionate about accuracy, efficiency, and results.

Primary Duties

• Lead the Financial Process: Own the preparation of monthly financial statements, budgets, and year-end audit support to ensure precision, timeliness, and compliance.
• Build Strong Controls: Strengthen internal controls, develop and implement accounting policies, and streamline financial procedures.
• Strategic Partner: Provide financial insights and recommendations that drive departmental performance and overall profitability.

• Accounting Expertise: You have a solid foundation in general accounting functions, and your attention to detail is second to none.
• Excel Proficiency: You're no stranger to Excel. You thrive on manipulating spreadsheets, and financial modeling is your jam.
• Tech-Friendly: Familiarity with VBA, Access, or Power BI would be advantageous, but don't worry if you haven't had hands-on experience with these tools just yet. We'll provide the training and resources you need to excel
• Analytical Thinker: Strategic thinking is in your DNA. You're excited to contribute innovative ideas and strategies to boost profitability and drive success in the dealership.
• Leadership Qualities: You’re dependable, adaptable, and capable of leading and supporting your team.

Here’s what’s in it for you:

• A Supportive Culture: We value your expertise and recognize the value you bring with your experience. Join our team and enjoy a collaborative and inclusive work environment where your ideas are heard and appreciated.

• Work-Life Balance: We understand that achieving balance is crucial for success. With generous vacation time, you'll have the opportunity to recharge and enjoy your personal life.
• Comprehensive Benefits: Your well-being is important to us. We offer comprehensive benefits, including health care, dental coverage, and a health spending account to support your overall well-being.
• Making an Impact: We believe in making a positive difference in our community. Each year, we contribute to causes such as the Kids with Cancer Society and Go Auto Fuels the Schools. Join us and be part of our giving back initiatives.
