Come join the team at Peter Stevens Motorworld
Peter Stevens Motorworld is a dynamic, family-owned and managed business in the heart of Ballarat.
We are seeking an experienced Dealership Accountant to join our Finance team and take responsibility for the day-to-day accounting function across our dealership group.
This is a hands-on role combining dealership accounting with the leadership of a small team of Finance Assistants. You will ensure transactional processing, vehicle inventory, floorplan administration, reconciliations and month-end reporting are completed accurately and on time.
Reporting directly to the Chief Operating Officer, your key responsibilities will include:
Lead and support a small team of Finance Assistants, ensuring accurate and timely completion of daily finance activities.
Oversee day-to-day transaction processing, reconciliations and financial controls.
Maintain the accuracy of vehicle inventory accounting and deal processing, including reconciliation of vehicle stock and associated transactions.
Ensure accurate management of floorplan administration, including vehicle additions, payouts and reconciliations.
Review and approve bank payments on a daily basis as required.
Maintain the integrity of the general ledger and ensure balance sheet accounts are regularly reconciled.
Follow established month-end processes to deliver accurate and timely monthly reporting across the Group.
Prepare and submit financial reporting to manufacturers and other key stakeholders as required.
Ensure ongoing compliance with Australian taxation requirements, including GST, BAS, PAYG, FBT and LCT, and complete relevant submissions within required timeframes.
Investigate and resolve accounting discrepancies and outstanding reconciliation items.
Maintain and support effective internal financial controls.
Assist the Directors with reporting, audit requirements and other finance activities as required.
Identify opportunities to continually improve the efficiency and accuracy of finance processes.
To be successful in this role, you will ideally have:
Previous accounting experience, preferably within an automotive dealership, multi-site retail or similarly fast-paced environment.
Strong general ledger, reconciliation and month-end accounting experience.
Experience supervising or supporting a small finance or accounts team.
A sound understanding of Australian taxation requirements.
Strong attention to detail and a commitment to accuracy.
Excellent organisational skills and the ability to meet strict reporting deadlines.
Strong Excel and accounting system skills.
A practical, hands-on approach and willingness to investigate and resolve issues.
The ability to work effectively with both finance and operational teams.
A tertiary qualification in Accounting, Commerce or a related discipline is preferred. CPA/CA qualification or progress towards qualification would be advantageous but is not essential where you have strong relevant experience.
This is an opportunity to take ownership of a broad dealership accounting function while working within an established automotive group.
The role offers a great balance of hands-on accounting, team leadership and operational involvement, making it ideal for an experienced Accountant looking to take the next step in their career.
If you are organised, commercially minded and enjoy working in a fast-paced environment where accuracy and deadlines matter, we would love to hear from you.
