Auto Dealerships & Service Shops

A CFO Who Already Speaks Your Financial Statement.

Gross by department. Fixed ops absorption. Labor rate and parts margin. Floor plan and F&I. I've spent about a decade in this industry, and I know what your numbers should be telling you.

What we look at

✓
Gross by department so you know which parts of the store carry the others
✓
Fixed ops absorption in plain terms
✓
Labor rate and parts margin against what you think you're earning
✓
Floor plan and F&I and what they really contribute
Why it matters

I've read your financial statement format before.

Most outside accountants have to learn how a dealership or shop works before they can help. I don't. My background spans sales, service, accounting, and dealer management software, so I've seen the business from the showroom floor, the service drive, the back office, and the system your numbers come out of.

That means less time explaining your business to me, and more time on what to do about it.

Where Profit Tends to Leak

These are patterns, not promises. The Diagnostic shows which ones apply to you, and what each is worth.

Pattern

Labor rate drift

The rate on the menu and the rate actually collected slowly move apart through discounts, comps, and old pricing.

Pattern

Parts margin leakage

Matrix pricing, special orders, and returns quietly erode the margin you think you're earning.

Pattern

Comeback cost

Every comeback burns labor and parts with no revenue behind it, and rarely shows up as its own line.

Pattern

Unbilled time

Hours your technicians worked that never reached an invoice are some of the cheapest profit to recover.

Built for How Your Business Actually Runs

Dealerships

Know what every department really contributes

Sales, service, parts, and F&I each tell a different story.

  • Gross profit by department, read correctly
  • Fixed ops absorption and what it says about the store
  • Floor plan cost and how it affects what you keep
  • F&I performance in plain terms
  • Cash planning around inventory and seasonality
Independent & body shops

Price, bill, and track the work the way it's earned

Smaller shops feel every leak, because the owner usually carries the load.

  • Labor rate versus effective labor rate
  • Parts markup and margin by job type
  • Comebacks and rework, and what they cost
  • Technician time that never gets billed
  • Cash flow around slow and busy seasons
