Dealership Controller / Accounting Manager (Quick Books Enterprise – Automotive Required)

Location: Marietta, GA

We are a growing independent car dealership seeking a hands-on, experienced Dealership Controller / Accounting Manager with strong expertise in Quick Books Desktop Enterprise and inventory accounting
.

This is not a basic bookkeeping role — we are looking for someone who understands dealership operations, can own the financials end-to-end, and help bring structure, accuracy, and accountability to the business.

• Full ownership of Quick Books Enterprise (Desktop) including setup, maintenance, and reporting
• Manage dealership inventory accounting (vehicle purchases, sales, cost tracking, floorplan if applicable)
• Oversee Accounts Payable & Accounts Receivable processes
• Perform daily, weekly, and monthly reconciliations (bank, credit cards, inventory, etc.)
• Prepare and analyze P&L, Balance Sheet, and cash flow reports
• Identify discrepancies and proactively resolve accounting issues
• Handle sales tax, TAVT filings, and dealership compliance requirements
• Oversee payroll processing and payroll taxes
• Work with ownership on financial insights, reporting, and process improvements
• Manage and support office staff (15–20 employees) as needed

• 5+ years of accounting/bookkeeping experience in a car dealership
• Expert-level Quick Books Desktop Enterprise (REQUIRED – not Quick Books Online)
• Strong understanding of inventory accounting
• Experience with sales tax, TAVT, and dealership paperwork/processes
• Advanced Excel skills (reporting, analysis, reconciliations)
  Ability to work independently and take full ownership of accounting functions

• Experience with multi-entity businesses
• Prior role as Controller, Accounting Manager, or Full-Charge Bookkeeper
• Experience with floorplan financing

• Competitive salary based on experience ($70K–$90K+ for the right candidate
  )
• Health insurance
• Paid time off
• Long-term growth opportunity within a stable and expanding dealership

This role is ideal for someone who:

• Has worked inside a dealership and understands how things actually operate
• Is tired of corporate environments and wants ownership + impact
• Can bring structure and discipline to accounting processes

• Candidates without Quick Books Enterprise (Desktop) experience
• Candidates without dealership or inventory accounting experience

If you meet the above criteria and are looking for a long-term opportunity where your expertise will be valued, we encourage you to apply.
