Accounting Clerk

Accounting Clerk - Backend Products & Journal Entries Full-Time | 8:00 AM - 5:00 PM, Monday - Friday | Permanent Desk at Jim Taylor Buick GMC, Monroe, LA About The Role Jim Taylor Auto Group is looking for a detail-driven Accounting Clerk to own a critical piece of our back-office operation: remitting and cancelling backend finance & insurance products, and posting journal entries, across two of our dealership locations. This isn't a role for someone who wants to coast through repetitive data entry — it's for someone who takes real ownership of numbers, catches what others miss, and treats deadlines as non-negotiable. The remittance and cancellation schedules for backend products are detailed, cross-referenced, and unforgiving of guesswork — this work assumes you already know your way around accounting fundamentals. It is not a role where you'll learn debits and credits on the job. You'll have a permanent desk at our Buick GMC store in Monroe, LA, but your work will directly support two dealership rooftops. If you like variety, cross-store visibility, and being the person who keeps the backend product process airtight, this is built for you. What You'll Own Remit backend products (service contracts, GAP, warranties, and other F&I products) to providers for two dealership locations, accurately and on schedule. Process cancellations of backend products for both stores — calculating refunds, submitting cancellation paperwork, and following each contract through to close. Prepare and post weekly and monthly journal entries for both locations as part of the regular close cycle. Reconcile the GL accounts tied to backend product remittance and cancellation activity, and chase down discrepancies until they're resolved — not just flagged. Maintain clean, audit-ready documentation for every remittance, cancellation, and entry you touch. Work directly with F&I managers, business office staff, and product providers at both stores to keep information moving and problems solved quickly. Balance competing deadlines across two locations without letting either one slip. Who Thrives Here Accounting or bookkeeping experience is required — 1-2+ years preferred. Dealership or F&I backend product experience is a strong plus. Someone who is genuinely comfortable owning a process end-to-end, across multiple locations, with minimal hand-holding. Sharp with numbers and spreadsheets — strong Microsoft skills and a natural instinct for reconciliation. Experience with a dealership DMS (Reynolds & Reynolds, CDK, Dealertrack, Tekion, or similar) is a real advantage. Meticulous. You'd rather double-check a number than let a small error become a big one. Reliable and deadline-driven — weekly and monthly close dates matter to you, not just to your manager. Comfortable communicating with F&I and business office staff at two different stores, and not afraid to follow up until something is resolved. This Probably Isn't for You If... You don't have prior accounting or bookkeeping experience — the remittance and cancellation schedules are too complex to pick up without it. You want a single, simple task to repeat all day with no ownership over the outcome. You need frequent check-ins or step-by-step direction to stay on track. Deadlines feel optional to you, or you tend to let paperwork pile up “until later.” Supporting two locations sounds like more coordination than you want to manage. Reconciliation, detail work, and double-checking your own numbers sound tedious rather than satisfying. Compensation & Schedule Competitive pay, based on experience. Full-time, Monday - Friday, 8:00 AM - 5:00 PM. Permanent desk located at Jim Taylor Buick GMC in Monroe, LA, supporting both dealership locations.
