Job Details

Position Title: Senior Accountant or Accounting Manager (Dealership Experience Highly Preferred)

Location: Texas (Onsite; Dallas-area candidates encouraged due to planned expansion / $5000 sign on bonus to assist with relocation costs)

Employment Type: Direct Hire

Position Overview

We are seeking an experienced accounting professional with dealership experience to take full ownership of the accounting function and remove day-to-day accounting oversight from executive leadership. This role requires someone who understands the operational flow of a dealership environment — from Sales → Finance → Accounting → Service — and can step in with confidence from day one.

The ideal candidate has prior experience working within a Dealership Management System (DMS) environment and understands how transactions move through dealership operations and impact financial reporting.

This is a hands‑on leadership role focused heavily on month‑end close, reconciliations, financial statement preparation, and sales tax compliance (Texas).

Key Responsibilities

Accounting Leadership & Oversight

• Take full ownership of the monthly close process.
• Perform and review account reconciliations with strong attention to detail.
• Prepare accurate and timely financial statements.
• Troubleshoot discrepancies and resolve integration or posting issues within the DMS.
• Ensure accounting processes align with dealership operational flow.

Operational Accounting

• Oversee day-to-day accounting operations while a staff member handles transactional AP/AR.
• Provide review and guidance over transactional work.
• Ensure accuracy in general ledger activity and reporting.
• Improve accounting workflows and internal controls.

Sales Tax & Compliance

• Manage and ensure compliance with Texas sales tax regulations.
• Review and oversee preparation of sales tax filings.
• Research and resolve sales tax questions as needed.

Systems & Process

• Leverage prior DMS experience to understand how sales, finance, and service transactions integrate into accounting.

Ideal Candidate Profile

• Prior dealership accounting experience (highly preferred).
• Experience working in a Dealership Management System (DMS) environment.
• Strong understanding of the dealership transaction lifecycle.
• Proven ability to perform detailed account reconciliations.
• Experience preparing financial statements independently.
• Hands‑on Texas sales tax experience (required).
• Audit background strongly preferred (audit-trained mindset with independent ownership).
• High sense of urgency and strong follow‑through.
• Detail‑oriented with strong problem‑solving skills.
• Comfortable operating autonomously and taking initiative.
• Direct report experience is a plus but not required.

Work Environment

Onsite role within Texas. Fully remote is not an option at this time. Potential future opportunity for Dallas-area presence as the organization expands.

What Success Looks Like

• Accurate and timely month‑end close.
• Clean reconciliations with minimal oversight required.
• Reliable financial statements leadership can confidently use for planning and strategy.
• Proactive troubleshooting of operational accounting issues.
• Strong ownership and urgency in driving accounting excellence.
