Strong management accounts experience
Experience across vehicle sales and aftersales accounting
Excellent commercial awareness
The confidence to challenge ideas and provide constructive financial guidance
The ability to influence senior management rather than simply report figures
A hands-on approach and willingness to support the wider business when required
The Ideal Person

An experienced Dealership Accountant looking for their next challenge.
Someone seeking a part-time position after stepping back from a larger dealership role.
An ambitious accountant looking to help shape a growing business, with the potential to progress into a Finance Director position.
You'll also work alongside an experienced Accounts Assistant who is keen to develop further, giving you the opportunity to mentor and help build the finance team for the future.
