What are the responsibilities and job description for the Financial Analyst position at AutoiPacket?
Financial Analyst (FP&A)
Location: Remote
Job Type: Full-time
About the Role
iPacket was born in 2012 from family-owned car dealerships in the mountains of Parkersburg, WV. We saw up close the angst every car buyer experienced, and we felt the burden every car dealer carried trying to provide accurate information. We knew there was a better way. The idea was simple: bring transparency and comprehensive information about every car to every buyer, digitally. That resonated with dealers across the country and today we are one of the fastest growing companies in the automotive industry. Thousands of dealers choose iPacket to revolutionize their sales, service, and marketing operations.
