Accounting Manager

Recharged is on a mission to accelerate electric vehicle (EV) adoption with the first end-to-end e-commerce marketplace designed specifically for used EV buyers and sellers. Recharged is committed to making electric vehicles more accessible and affordable to consumers, while also serving dealers, fleets, and other companies navigating the transition to electric vehicles.

We are hiring our first in‑house accounting position to run the daily accounting work of the business: deal posting, deal‑level gross, inventory and reconditioning accounting, cash, receivables and payables, and the month‑end close. Today this work is done with external accounting support. This role brings it in‑house, sits closer to the stores, the DMS, and the people who originate the transactions, and manages the accounting process and the outside parties that support it, including accounting, tax, and audit.

Recharged buys vehicles directly from consumers, at auction, and from dealer and fleet partners, reconditions them in‑house, and retails them through  and our Experience Centers in Richmond, Fairfax, Charlotte, and Jacksonville. The person in this seat sets the process for how every acquisition, reconditioning cost, and sale gets recorded in our financials correctly and on time, automates what can be automated with support from our engineering and operations teams, and confirms the result through reconciliation, so that gross profit by unit and by store is right the first time and can be used for compensation, investor and lender reporting, and the audit.

This role works alongside the company’s co‑founder, our finance lead, and our operations support teams, and helps shape how the accounting function is built. This person will help document the accounting process and standardise our operations: how deals move from the stores into accounting, what gets checked and when, how problems get flagged and resolved, and standing up an efficient month‑end close process.

Part of that is forming a view on which work should have external support and which should sit in‑house, and helping us adjust that split as the business grows. Day to day, it works with sales, inventory, reconditioning, and remarketing across all locations.

Our ideal candidate is an automotive accountant first and foremost: someone who has posted deals in a DMS, knows what a complete deal jacket looks like, and has worked a close for a multi‑rooftop dealer. You may have done this inside a dealer group, at an accounting firm supporting automotive clients, or both, and you want to be the in‑house accounting person for one business.

You are disciplined about reconciliations, you track open deal issues and work with the business teams to get them resolved, and you are comfortable working with store managers and salespeople who are not accountants. You have opinions about how the deal‑to‑close process should run and want to build it.
