We love helping auto dealers thrive!

Whether you need financial reporting and tax compliance or are looking for help with software and consulting needs, we have you covered

Compliance

Getting your financial reporting and tax obligations done is the first step.

Whether you need audited, reviewed or compiled financial statements, we’ll prepare them under GAAP standards to satisfy lender requirements. Corporate income tax planning and preparation, and owner’s personal tax planning and preparation.

We consult on special projects that require particular industry knowledge applied to state taxation and IRS case law.

Our tax team is experienced in reviewing commission and demo reporting as part of payroll as well as issues unique to dealerships such as LIFO accounting and SWIM elections, Escheat reporting and the tax treatment of extended service contracts. In addition, we understand the management of dealerships and how it applies to succession and estate planning down the road.
