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.

You'll own the full cycle accounting for 3 of our 5 holding companies (those with the most complex corporate department structures) and lead the preparation of quarterly standalone GAAP financial statements for our Retail division, audited annually by KPMG.

What makes this role unique: Holman has invested in systems and centralized operations that handle transactional accounting (AP, AR, cash), allowing you to focus on work that requires judgment: month-end close, financial reporting, variance analysis, and team leadership. OneStream automates our consolidation and budgeting processes across 110+ entities, allowing you to focus on the bigger picture.

This role combines solid accounting work with leadership responsibility, requiring someone who can manage volume and scale while developing talent and driving continuous improvement.
