Dealership Accountant

Overview

RJ Powersports is looking for a Dealership Accountant to take ownership of day-to-day accounting and grow into a Controller role. This is not an entry-level position — we need someone who understands accounting, can think independently, and wants to be part of building a high-performing dealership.

You’ll work directly with ownership and management to ensure accurate financials, strong controls, and operational accountability.

What You’ll Do

• Maintain accurate financial records in Lightspeed DMS and accounting systems
• Perform monthly reconciliations (bank, floorplan, schedules, etc.)
• Assist with and review monthly financial statements (P&L, balance sheet)
• Manage accounts payable and receivable processes (with support staff)
• Ensure accuracy of deal postings, funding, and inventory accounting
• Support payroll review, HR documentation, and compliance processes
• Monitor and improve internal controls and dealership processes
• Work with ownership to identify profit leaks and opportunities
• Coordinate with outside accounting support as needed

What We’re Looking For

• 2+ years of accounting experience required (dealership experience preferred)
• Strong understanding of general ledger, reconciliations, and financial statements
• Experience with Lightspeed, CDK, Reynolds, or similar systems is a big plus
• Detail-oriented with the ability to own your work without constant supervision
• Comfortable working in a fast-paced dealership environment
• Strong organizational and problem-solving skills

Compensation

• $55,000 – $70,000+ depending on experience
• Performance-based growth opportunities
• Clear path to Controller role for the right candidate

Why RJ Powersports

• Growing multi-location dealership
• High-volume environment with opportunity to make a real impact
• Direct access to ownership and decision-making
• Opportunity to build systems, not just maintain them

Important

This role is for someone who wants to take ownership and grow — not just process transactions. If you’re looking for a clock-in/clock-out admin role, this is not the right fit.
