In-House Bookkeeper / Accounting Manager (Automotive Group)

About Us:
Safe Auto Repair is a rapidly growing, multi-location automotive company focused on operational excellence, high-level execution, and industry-leading performance. We are building a best-in-class organization and are looking for someone who can own and elevate our financial systems internally.

Position Overview:
We are hiring a high-level Bookkeeper / Accounting Manager to bring our accounting fully in-house. This role requires a QuickBooks expert who can take full ownership of our financial systems, reporting, and processes across multiple locations.

This is not an entry-level bookkeeping role — we are looking for someone who can operate with precision, urgency, and complete accountability.

Key Responsibilities:

• Deliver accurate monthly P&L by the 5th of every month (non-negotiable)
• Full ownership of QuickBooks (setup, maintenance, troubleshooting, optimization)
• Perform complete parts and inventory reconciliation
• Execute month-end and year-end close, including rollovers
• Maintain and audit general ledger accuracy
• Manage accounts payable and receivable
• Perform bank, credit card, and account reconciliations
• Process and manage payroll within QuickBooks or integrated systems
• Assist with basic HR functions (onboarding, employee records, payroll compliance)
• Build and maintain clean, scalable accounting processes
• Provide clear financial visibility and reporting to ownership

QuickBooks Requirements (Critical):

• Advanced / expert-level experience in QuickBooks (Online or Desktop)
• Ability to handle full-cycle accounting inside QuickBooks
• Strong experience with:
• Chart of accounts setup and structuring
• Journal entries and adjustments
• Bank feeds and reconciliation
• Financial reporting (P&L, Balance Sheet, Cash Flow)
• Payroll integration and management
• Troubleshooting discrepancies and cleanup work
• Experience cleaning up or correcting messy books is a major plus

Qualifications:

• 3–5+ years of bookkeeping/accounting experience (multi-location preferred)
• Strong understanding of financial statements and deadlines
• Experience with inventory/parts reconciliation (automotive preferred)
• High attention to detail and accuracy
• Strong organizational and time management skills
• Ability to operate in a fast-paced, high-performance environment

What Success Looks Like:

• Financials delivered on time, every month without fail
• Clean, audit-ready books at all times
• Zero guesswork in financial reporting
• Fully reconciled parts, accounts, and transactions
• QuickBooks system running efficiently and accurately

Compensation & Growth:

• Competitive salary based on experience
• Long-term growth opportunity as we scale to multiple locations
• Performance-based incentives tied to accuracy and reporting timelines

Who This Is NOT For:

• Someone who needs supervision to stay on track
• Someone who is “familiar” with QuickBooks but not advanced
• Someone who misses deadlines or works reactively

Who This IS For:

• Someone who takes pride in clean, accurate numbers
• Someone who can own the entire accounting function
• Someone who thrives in a performance-driven environment

How to Apply:
Submit your resume along with a brief explanation of your QuickBooks experience, including specific examples of month-end close, reconciliations, and any cleanup work you've performed.
