Finance Manager

About the Role

McDonald Automotive isn’t owned by a board or private equity firm. We’re four generations in, actively involved in day-to-day operations, and deeply invested in our people. Our philosophy—Doing Right Comes Naturally—isn’t marketing copy. It’s how we’ve built one of the most respected dealer groups in the country. Many of our team members spend decades here, grow into leadership, and retire as part of the McDonald legacy. We attract driven professionals who want to perform at a high level and work for a company that stands behind them.
