Dealership Accountant - Renault Plymouth & Renault LCV Centre Plymouth

Salary up to £50,000 + Company Car + Excellent Benefits

Are you an experienced Dealership Accountant looking for a role where you can make a real impact across two busy automotive businesses?

We have an exciting opportunity for a Dealership Accountant to join us, taking responsibility for the financial performance and accounting functions across Renault Plymouth and Renault LCV Centre Plymouth.

With a competitive salary of up to £50,000, plus a company car and fantastic company benefits, this is an excellent opportunity to join one of the UK's largest motor retailers and play an important role in the continued success of our Plymouth businesses.

About the role

As Dealership Accountant, you will work closely with the dealership management teams, providing accurate financial information, commercial insight and support to help drive performance across both sites.

You will take ownership of the dealership accounts function, ensuring strong financial controls are in place while supporting the wider leadership team with the information they need to make effective commercial decisions.

We are looking for someone who can bring not only strong technical accounting skills, but also confident leadership and the ability to develop and support their team.

What we're looking for

Ideally, you will have:

• Previous accounting experience within the motor retail industry
• Strong commercial and financial awareness
• Excellent numerical and analytical skills
• Strong organisational skills and attention to detail
• Confident communication and stakeholder management skills
• Experience leading, coaching and developing a team
• A good working knowledge of Kerridge Accountancy software would be advantageous

We are a learning organisation, so we also want our Dealership Accountant to be passionate about developing others and creating a positive, supportive culture within their team.

Why join us?

This is more than an accounting position. You'll have the opportunity to work across two Renault businesses in Plymouth, partnering with their leadership teams and making a visible contribution to their performance and development.

We are proud to invest in our colleagues' development and provide ongoing training and career opportunities, giving you the support to continue progressing your career within one of the UK's largest motor retailers.

Our benefits include

• Salary up to £50,000
• Company car
• 25 days' holiday, rising with length of service, plus bank holidays
• Access to our online rewards platform, providing cashback and discounts with multiple retailers
• Preferential service rates
• Colleague Purchase Scheme
• Share Incentive Scheme
• Pension
• Enhanced maternity and paternity benefits
• Ongoing training and career development opportunities

Compliance & Values

As a values-driven business, it is essential that our management team consistently demonstrate behaviours that deliver positive outcomes for our customers. You will be expected to act in good faith at all times, setting the standard within your dealership and operating in a customer-centric environment where integrity is key.

You will play a key role in driving a culture of responsible business practices, ensuring we deliver the right products and services to meet our customers' needs, protect them from harm, and encourage long-term loyalty. Building trust and acting with integrity at all times is fundamental to this role.

To protect our customers and our reputation, successful candidates will be required to undertake a DBS check, along with regular fit and proper person assessments. We will also request references from previous employers as part of our pre-employment checks.

This role does not meet the skill level requirements for Skilled Worker visa sponsorship under current UK immigration rules. As such, we are unable to consider applications requiring sponsorship, and successful candidates must already have the unrestricted right to work in the UK.

If your application is successful, we will need to complete employment checks prior to you starting with us. Your role will include us verifying your recent employment, credit history and a criminal record check.

If you're an experienced automotive Accountant looking for greater responsibility, exposure across two dealerships and the opportunity to develop your career with a major UK motor retailer, we'd love to hear from you. Apply today.
