Accounting Associate - 3rd Generation Omaha Dealership - $55-65k - HEMPHILL EXCLUSIVE!
Hemphill is proud to partner with this mid-sized family-owned Omaha dealership who is eager to identify an Accounting Associate to join their team! Hemphill has partnered with this organization over the years and have steadily helped them make strategic hires as they have continued to grow to becoming the #1 dealership (within their respective market) in the Midwest!
This mid-sized business has a wonderful reputation in Omaha of doing things the right way - from customer service, to operating with high integrity, we are proud to partner again with this admired organization that operates in a very fun industry that puts a smile on the faces of their customers.
This position is unique in that, unlike most dealerships that “feel” like a large corporation, this company had intentionally remained local. Although their revenue continues to grow, they do a great job of maintaining an authentic family feel where everyone in the business is closely involved in the big picture and daily operations vs. being in a narrow role.
- Report to the CFO of this dealership and act as his “right hand” - taking ownership for a variety of accounting responsibilities that will leave you feeling involved, valued, and kept busy with an array of work that requires critical thinking vs. high volumes of repetitive work.
- We would love to hire an individual who has exposure to the dealership industry - someone that understands the intricacies of budgeting and floor planning and is familiar with the inner workings of a dealership.
- Work closely with sales, parts & service, and other departments while taking ownership for accounts payable, accounts receivable, credit card and bank reconciliations, sales reporting, and team up with the CFO to take ownership for month-end close together as a team.
This business has a team of 25 employees who take pride in their work and they do a great job of managing a very successful 40+ year old business while maintaining a laid back and relaxed office environment that really does feel like a family. This company has a very successful new and used sales division as well as a very well run, profitable service department. This is a great opportunity for you to settle into a well-run, stable firm while being a key part of helping this business continue its success into the future.
