Automotive Accounting Manager

Stuteville of Poteau is seeking an experienced Accounting Office Manager to oversee the dealership's accounting and administrative operations. This is a hands-on leadership role responsible for payroll, financial statements, accounting processes, and supervising accounting staff.

This position works directly with the Controller and plays a key role in ensuring the accuracy and integrity of the dealership's financial records.

• Enjoy both leading a team and staying involved in the day-to-day accounting work
• Are highly organized, process-driven, and detail-oriented
  
  

This role may not be a good fit for individuals who prefer high-level strategy over detailed financial work or who do not enjoy working with numbers, reconciliations, and financial reporting daily.

What We Offer

• Competitive Compensation (commensurate with experience)
• Medical, Dental, and Vision Insurance (low premiums and low deductibles)
• Voluntary Life Insurance
• 401(k) Retirement Plan
• Paid Vacation, Sick Leave, and Holidays
