Moving you beyond basic bookkeeping to total margin transparency.
Managing a shop, dealership, or car wash is a high-volume, asset-heavy game where "busy" doesn't always mean "profitable." We provide specialized accounting and fractional CFO services designed to bridge the gap between your POS/DMS and your bank account. With over 25 years of experience in complex operations, we help you solve the "undeposited funds" mystery, optimize your Effective Labor Rate, and manage your CapEx cycles so you can stop chasing paper and start scaling your wealth.
We provide automotive-grade financial intelligence for owners across the aftermarket and retail landscape:
We eliminate the "blind spots" that prevent automotive owners from scaling their profit.
We stop the "undeposited funds" mystery. We bridge the gap between your POS/DMS and the bank by building a Daily/Weekly Deposit Tie-out. We reconcile merchant batches, split tenders, and batching delays so your bank balance finally reflects your Repair Order (RO) totals.
We move beyond generic P&Ls to isolate your Effective Labor Rate (ELR), technician productivity, and parts-to-labor ratios. For car washes, we track Cost-per-Car and chemical usage percentages so you can optimize your wash packages and labor scheduling for actual profit.
We specialize in the "mapping" that generalist firms skip. We integrate your DMS, merchant statements, and recurring billing tools directly into your books. We provide Membership Liability Rollforwards for washes and ensure your sales tax is accurate across parts, labor, and service fees.
Automotive businesses are asset-heavy. We align your depreciation strategy with your equipment purchases (lifts, tunnels, diagnostic tools). We optimize your owner compensation and entity structure while capturing all shop-related write-offs, from uniforms to technician training.
For car washes and subscription-based shops, we set up proper accounting for deferred revenue. We track membership churn and Monthly Recurring Revenue (MRR) separately from one-time washes, so you aren't paying taxes on cash you haven't "earned" yet.
You get more than just a bookkeeper; you get a strategic partner who understands that in the automotive world, the details—like parts-to-labor ratios, technician productivity, and floorplan curtailments—can make or break your shop’s valuation.
