Accounting Clerk – Backend Products & Journal Entries

Full-Time | 8:00 AM – 5:00 PM, Monday – Friday | Permanent Desk at Jim Taylor Buick GMC, Monroe, LA

Jim Taylor Auto Group is looking for a detail-driven Accounting Clerk to own a critical piece of our back-office operation: remitting and cancelling backend finance & insurance products, and posting journal entries, across two of our dealership locations. This isn't a role for someone who wants to coast through repetitive data entry — it's for someone who takes real ownership of numbers, catches what others miss, and treats deadlines as non-negotiable.

The remittance and cancellation schedules for backend products are detailed, cross-referenced, and unforgiving of guesswork — this work assumes you already know your way around accounting fundamentals. It is not a role where you'll learn debits and credits on the job.

You'll have a permanent desk at our Buick GMC store in Monroe, LA, but your work will directly support two dealership rooftops. If you like variety, cross-store visibility, and being the person who keeps the backend product process airtight, this is built for you.

• Remit backend products (service contracts, GAP, warranties, and other F&I products) to providers for two dealership locations, accurately and on schedule.
• Process cancellations of backend products for both stores — calculating refunds, submitting cancellation paperwork, and following each contract through to close.
• Prepare and post weekly and monthly journal entries for both locations as part of the regular close cycle.
• Reconcile the GL accounts tied to backend product remittance and cancellation activity, and chase down discrepancies until they're resolved — not just flagged.
• Maintain clean, audit-ready documentation for every remittance, cancellation, and entry you touch.
• Work directly with F&I managers, business office staff, and product providers at both stores to keep information moving and problems solved quickly.
• Balance competing deadlines across two locations without letting either one slip.

• Accounting or bookkeeping experience is required — 1–2+ years preferred. Dealership or F&I backend product experience is a strong plus.
• Someone who is genuinely comfortable owning a process end-to-end, across multiple locations, with minimal hand-holding.
• Sharp with numbers and spreadsheets — strong Microsoft skills and a natural instinct for reconciliation.
• Experience with a dealership DMS (Reynolds & Reynolds, CDK, Dealer track, Tekion, or similar) is a real advantage.
• Meticulous. You'd rather double-check a number than let a small error become a big one.
• Reliable and deadline-driven — weekly and monthly close dates matter to you, not just to your manager.
• Comfortable communicating with F&I and business office staff at two different stores, and not afraid to follow up until something is resolved.

• You don't have prior accounting or bookkeeping experience — the remittance and cancellation schedules are too complex to pick up without it.
• You want a single, simple task to repeat all day with no ownership over the outcome.
• You need frequent check-ins or step-by-step direction to stay on track.
• Deadlines feel optional to you, or you tend to let paperwork pile up until later.
• Supporting two locations sounds like more coordination than you want to manage.
• Reconciliation, detail work, and double-checking your own numbers sound tedious rather than satisfying.

Competitive pay, based on experience.
