Holman is seeking a Corporate Accounting Manager to join our Retail Corporate Accounting team! This position will report directly to the Director of Accounting and is a hybrid role based in Vancouver, WA. About Holman Since 1924, Holman has evolved into one of the largest integrated automotive service companies in North America. With a unique set of complementary services in fleet management, upfitting and equipment, and commercial and retail vehicle sales, we’re always Driving What’s Right. Holman's retail division, where our story began, is one of the largest privately held dealership groups in the United States, operating 74 new vehicle franchises representing 34 brands, including BMW, Lexus, Porsche, and Land Rover, from the Pacific Northwest to the East Coast. The Opportunity We're seeking a Corporate Accounting Manager to join our Retail Corporate Accounting team, reporting directly to the Director of Accounting.
