A Day in the Life

A Dealership Accountant might sound like a typical boring desk job. But it's nothing like that! Most of the time, you are challenging managers with improving results, questioning costs and running around making sure payroll is correct. It’s a fun job where you get to meet all different types of people, striving to get the dealership to do its best, whilst making sure company rules and regulations are met. Being organised is definitely a good skill to have, as well as inquisitiveness; there is always something going on.

The best part of the job is helping people to achieve results and working together with different departments to achieve success.
