  • Strengthen internal controls and support accounting best practices.
  • Help streamline processes and contribute to the standardization of finance operations across dealerships.
  • CPA designation preferred, or significant automotive dealership accounting experience.
  • Experience in a Controller, Assistant Controller, or senior accounting leadership role.
