Accounting Operations Specialist

Ballard Truck Center • Worcester, MA

3d • Onsite

About The Position

Ballard Truck Center is a family-owned business providing the best experience in the full-service commercial trucks industry in the northeast. Ballard’s dedicated team of technicians and representatives have earned them the title of #1 in Customer Satisfaction in the US by Volvo Trucks and Mack Trucks USA Dealer of the Year time and time again. Whether it is sales, service, parts, leasing, or rentals – Ballard’s been keeping the community rolling for over 100 years. We’re looking for an Accounting Operations Specialist to work directly with our CFO — a high-trust, hands-on role that sits at the center of our financial operations. This is not a typical accounting position. You won’t be managing a team or reinventing processes. You’ll own a defined set of recurring accounting responsibilities and serve as a reliable, discreet resource for the CFO — someone who can be handed a problem, dig into it, and come back with answers. Over time, you’ll deepen your expertise across our systems and processes as trust is built. If you have dealership accounting experience — especially with CDK Drive — this role was written for you. That background is highly valued.

Requirements

• 5+ years of accounting experience with demonstrated ability to work independently
• Strong proficiency in Microsoft Excel, Outlook, and Teams
• Proven ability to handle confidential information with professionalism and discretion
• Exposure to month-end close processes and working with general ledger accounts
• Ability to follow established processes and controls consistently
• Strong attention to detail and organizational skills
• Effective written and verbal communication

Nice To Haves

• CDK Drive experience
• Experience in a dealership environment (commercial truck, automotive, or equipment)
• Experience working across multiple business locations
• Microsoft SharePoint familiarity
• Associate’s or Bachelor’s degree in Accounting, Finance, or related field

Responsibilities

• Bank reconciliations, accounting schedules, and month-end close tasks including journal entries and adjustments
• Internal financial statements, management reports, and P&L support
• Sales tax return preparation and filing
• Benefit and insurance expense allocation across departments
• Processing and review of select invoices, vendor credits, OEM transactions, and payments
• Ad hoc data pulls, discrepancy research, and findings summaries at CFO direction
• Backup support to Accounts Receivable and Accounts Payable as needed
