Senior Bookkeeper/Accountant – Upbeat, People-Centered Omaha Dealership – HEMPHILL EXCLUSIVE!
Hemphill is proud to partner and represent this mid-sized, family-owned Omaha dealership in their search for an Accountant to join their team! Hemphill has enjoyed a long relationship with this organization as we have partnered together over the years and helped them make strategic hires as they have steadily grown into the #1 dealership in their Midwest market.
This is not a typical dealership accounting position. You’ll report directly to the CFO as his go-to financial partner, working hands-on across the business. Instead of repetitive, routine tasks, you’ll tackle diverse responsibilities requiring resourcefulness, problem-solving, and collaboration with sales, service, and parts teams.
- Act as a core member of a small accounting team, owning a wide range of responsibilities including accounts payable, accounts receivable, bank reconciliations, daily sales reporting, and partnering with the CFO to divide and conquer the month-end close process.
- Enjoy gaining direct exposure to an engaging mix of work while supporting annual and monthly budgeting, floor plan financing, and other dealership-specific accounting functions. Prior dealership experience is a plus, but not required - what matters most is curiosity, adaptability, and a problem-solving mindset.
- Build strong, cross-functional relationships with colleagues in sales, service, parts, and product/accessories - working together on initiatives and projects that directly serve customer needs and improve operational efficiency.
- Enjoy plenty of variety: every day brings different challenges, and your ability to manage shifting priorities and dig into the numbers will be highly valued.
You’ll join a 25-person team that treats one another like family and takes pride in maintaining a welcoming, upbeat environment. With a multi-decade record of stability and growth, this dealership offers a workplace where humor, hard work, and cooperation go hand-in-hand - and where you can build a long-term future.
If you excel at getting things done, enjoy rolling up your sleeves, and want to work alongside a talented CFO who values your input and invests in your growth, this could be the ideal next step for your career.
