Common Dealership Accounting Problems We Solve

CPA Firm Closing the Books—but Nobody Managing Accounting?

Monthly financial statements alone are not enough. We provide controller-level oversight, accountability, and operational financial leadership. 

Books Behind or Financials Unreliable?

If reconciliations are overdue, schedules are incomplete, or ownership no longer trusts the numbers, we step in and rebuild financial accuracy. 

CIT Growing and Cash Visibility Weak?

Funding delays, broken receivable processes, and weak cash controls quietly destroy working capital. We help identify and correct the root causes. 

BHPH Reporting Problems?

Portfolio accounting, collections reporting, charge-offs, reserves, and delinquency reporting require specialized expertise most firms do not provide. 

Concerned About Hidden Financial Leaks?

Weak internal controls, stale balances, open item abuse, duplicate payments, and process failures can silently erode profit.

You Are Probably Overpaying. Let's Find Out — At Zero Risk.

Where I Find the Money

Most dealer groups have 10–25% in findable savings inside existing vendor contracts and expenses. You only pay if we find it and you implement it.

  • Vendor & supplier contracts
  • Insurance premiums
  • Telecom & technology costs
  • Banking & merchant processing fees
  • Shipping & logistics rates
  • Utilities & waste removal
  • Equipment & maintenance contracts

How the Fee Model Works

No upfront fees. No retainer required to start. I review your expenses and present every opportunity I find. You decide what to implement — full control stays with you. My fee is a percentage of savings on what you act on. If I find nothing worth implementing you owe nothing. Zero risk. 

Real Dealership Experience. Not Generic Consulting.

Most consultants understand accounting.

Few understand dealership operations.
