Dealership Accountant

We're delighted to be working with a long-standing and highly respected motor dealership based in the heart of the Peak District. Known for their dedication to quality, customer service, and staff development, this business has built a solid reputation in the automotive industry. As they continue to grow, they're looking to appoint an experienced Dealership Accountant to join their team and support their continued success.

This is a full-time position offering a competitive salary of up to £45,000 FTE, with fantastic benefits and long-term progression opportunities.

• Prior experience in a motor dealership or automotive business
• Familiarity with the Kerridge system and strong IT/technical capability
• High attention to detail and a methodical approach to work
• Strong auditing and internal control experience, especially regarding cash and stock

What's on offer?
