An outstanding opportunity has arisen for an experienced Motor Trade Dealership Accountant to join a successful and forward-thinking automotive retail group.

This is a highly commercial role where you'll act as a trusted finance business partner to senior operational leaders across multiple dealership locations. You'll provide meaningful financial insight, challenge performance, and help drive profitability, rather than focusing on day-to-day transactional accounting.

If you're a commercially minded accountant who enjoys influencing decision-making and adding real value to a business, this is an excellent opportunity to join a growing organisation that offers hybrid working, autonomy and genuine career progression.

The Role

Supporting a portfolio of dealership sites, you'll be responsible for delivering accurate financial reporting while partnering with operational management to improve business performance.

• Present financial information in a clear and concise manner to non-finance stakeholders.
• Support strategic business decisions through robust financial analysis and modelling.
• Ensure strong financial governance and balance sheet integrity.
• Drive continuous improvement in financial reporting and business processes.
• Work closely with the wider finance team to deliver consistent reporting across the group.

You'll already have experience within the franchised motor trade and be confident operating as a commercial finance partner.

You'll ideally have:

• Previous experience as a Dealership Accountant, Senior Dealership Accountant or Management Accountant within a franchised dealer group.
• A strong track record of producing management accounts and delivering insightful financial analysis.
• Excellent commercial awareness with the confidence to challenge and influence operational stakeholders.
• Experience partnering with senior management to improve business performance.

• Strong working knowledge of Kerridge/CDK Drive or Pinnacle, with the ability to produce accurate financial reporting and management information.
• Proficient in Microsoft Excel and confident manipulating and analysing financial data.
• ACA, ACCA or CIMA qualification is desirable, although qualified by experience candidates with relevant dealership accounting expertise will also be considered.

Package

• 55,000 - 60,000 Basic Salary
• Performance Bonus of up to 6,000
• Company Car
• Hybrid Working
• Holiday Allowance
• Pension Scheme
• Staff Benefits and Discounts
