About the Company:
GS Courtyard Homes is a manufactured and modular home dealership based in Bedford, IN, serving retail customers across private land and residential communities.

About the Role:
We're looking to add an Accountant / Controller to our growing team to oversee the financial operations of the dealership. This role will manage day-to-day bookkeeping, financial reporting, and cash flow oversight, while also helping build out stronger financial processes as we scale.

- Support budgeting and cash flow forecasting
- Ensure compliance with state and federal tax filings, sales tax, and other regulatory requirements
- Coordinate with outside CPA/tax preparer for year-end filings
- Maintain internal controls and recommend process improvements as the company grows
- Provide financial reporting and analysis to ownership to support business decisions
