How much do dealership controller jobs pay per year?
What is a dealership controller?
What does a dealership controller do?
As a dealership controller, your primary responsibilities are to oversee the financial aspects of an automotive dealership and monitor internal compliance. Your duties include adhering to the budget, assisting with internal audits, performing economic analysis, managing payroll, preparing an automotive plant asset report, and completing additional accounting related tasks. This job focuses heavily on the financial activities of the dealership. A dealership controller reports to the accounting director or the vice president of the dealership and can work with an automobile manufacturer or service center.

What are some common challenges a dealership controller faces when managing multiple dealership locations?
What is the difference between Dealership Controller vs Bookkeeper?
| Aspect | Dealership Controller | Bookkeeper |
|---|---|---|
| Credentials | Accounting degree or CPA preferred | Basic accounting or bookkeeping certification often sufficient |
| Work Environment | Automotive dealership finance department | Small business, retail, or service industry |
| Responsibilities | Financial reporting, budgeting, compliance, overseeing accounting staff | Recording transactions, managing accounts payable/receivable |
| Industry Usage | Commonly used in automotive dealerships and large retail | Used across various small to medium businesses |
The Dealership Controller typically handles comprehensive financial management within a dealership, including reporting and compliance, requiring advanced accounting skills. In contrast, a Bookkeeper focuses on recording daily financial transactions, often with less formal credentials. While both roles involve accounting tasks, the Controller's position is more strategic and supervisory, especially in the automotive industry.

$60,000–$75,000+ per year, based on experience
Baraboo, Wisconsin
Are you an experienced dealership office professional who knows how to keep the back office running smoothly?
Are you tired of working in a large corporate dealership where you're just a number?
We may be looking for you.
We are a family-owned and operated Stellantis dealership in Baraboo, WI, and we're looking for an experienced Dealership Office Manager to join our team.
This is a key position in our dealership. We're looking for someone who understands dealership accounting and office operations, knows how a deal should flow from the salesperson's desk through accounting, and takes pride in making sure the details are right.
If you have Dealertrack DMS experience and dealership office experience, we'd like to talk with you.
THIS IS NOT A TYPICAL OFFICE MANAGER POSITIONWe're looking for someone who understands the dealership business.
You should be comfortable with:
- Deal jackets and deal processing
- Vehicle titles and registrations
- Accounts payable and accounts receivable
- Dealership accounting
- Bank and account reconciliations
- Floorplan accounting
- Month-end closing
- Manufacturer reporting
- DMV and title work
- Customer and lender paperwork
- Dealertrack DMS
- Working with sales, service, parts, finance and management

Responsibilities will include:
- Managing the dealership's office and accounting functions
- Processing and reviewing vehicle deals

- Preparing reports for management
- Helping ensure dealership policies and procedures are followed
- Identifying problems and getting them resolved before they become bigger problems
- Supporting dealership management and ownership with administrative and financial information
Dealertrack DMS experience is strongly preferred.

Experience with Stellantis dealerships is also a plus.
WHO WE'RE LOOKING FORThe right person will be:
- Experienced in dealership office or accounting operations
- Comfortable working in a dealership DMS
- Highly organized and detail-oriented
- Accurate with numbers and paperwork
- Dependable and trustworthy
- Comfortable handling confidential information
- Able to work independently without constant supervision
- A good problem solver
- Someone who notices when something doesn't look right
- Comfortable communicating with employees, customers, lenders, vendors and management
- Someone who takes ownership of their responsibilities
- Looking for a long-term home, not just another job
We would especially like to hear from experienced dealership office managers, office supervisors, controllers, assistant controllers and experienced dealership accounting professionals.
WHY WORK WITH US?We're different from the large corporate dealership groups.
We're a small, family-owned dealership, and we believe that makes a difference.
You'll know the people you work with. You'll have direct access to management and ownership. Your ideas will be heard, and the work you do will have a direct impact on the dealership.
We value people who are loyal, hardworking, honest and willing to take responsibility for getting the job done.
We aren't looking for someone to simply sit behind a desk and process paperwork.
