Job description

Overview

We are looking for an experienced Accounts Assistant to join our accounts team at D M Keith.

Our business started over 60 years ago and has been in the same family ever since. From our very humble beginnings, we have grown to be in the top 50 car dealers in the country. Across our 26 businesses we have a stable workforce of over 600 people, many of whom have been with us for years. We are always on the lookout for nice, genuine people who genuinely care about our customers and have a can do attitude.

Our recruitment philosophy is that we recruit for attitude and train for skills, which means that although we’re often looking for specific technical skills, if you like working with customers and you are attracted by our Family Values of Fit, Fun, Family and Fearless, you’ll fit in well here and we’d like to hear from you even if you have no experience of the automotive industry.

We’ll expect you to work hard, but in return we’ll offer you an industry leading package and a real opportunity to progress: we prefer to promote from within and you will see this in every one of our sites. You must possess an outrageous ambition to want to be the best and you won’t let anyone stop you.

About You

The ideal candidate will have a strong interest in accounting and finance, and be willing to learn and develop their skills. The selected candidate will be fundamental in supporting the day-to-day operations of our accounts team, so a keen eye for detail and proven ability to work on initiative is a must. The role will involve providing administrative support to our accounts department. Accounts experience essential; experience within the motor trade is beneficial.

Responsibilities May Include

• Keeping financial records updated and accurate.
• Preparing reports and reconciling bank statements.
• Administrative tasks.
• Dealing with queries.
• Ad hoc accounting tasks.
• Supporting the accounts team to allow efficient operations.

What we offer

• World-class training provided.
• 30 days annual leave inclusive of 8 bank holidays, increasing with length of service
• Preferential rates for servicing and repairs on your family and friend’s cars
• A workplace pension scheme
• £25 contribution to eye tests
• Long service awards
• Cycle to work scheme

Accounts experience is essential; motor trade experience, beneficial!
