CDK Global, Reynolds and Reynolds, PBS Systems, Auto/Mate, and ADAM Systems all run the back office for franchise and new-car dealerships, but dealership accounting isn't general small-business bookkeeping with more zeros. A factory-mandated chart of accounts, manufacturer statement reporting, and multi-department P&Ls across new, used, parts, service, and F&I all have to tie together in a way QuickBooks was never built for.
Most dealerships inherit whatever DMS their group has run for a decade and never actually evaluate whether it fits their store structure, single rooftop or multi-point group, or how factory reporting requirements have changed since. We start from your actual department structure and reporting obligations, and narrow the field to what fits, not whichever DMS vendor's rep calls the most.
We're not tied to any one dealership accounting software vendor, so our job is finding what actually fits how your team works, not pushing whichever platform we know best. We'll narrow the field, help you implement whichever dealership accounting software you pick, and connect it to the rest of your business once it's in.
We look at how your team actually operates, not a generic dealership accounting software feature list, and narrow the real options down to the ones that fit. No commission on dealership accounting software, no vendor bias.
Implementation, data migration, and connecting your dealership accounting software to the rest of what your business runs on, so it's working on day one instead of half-configured for a month.
We build it. Dealership accounting software built around your actual operational style, not one you adapt your business to, with no learning curve for staff because it already matches how they work.
Tell us where things stand with dealership accounting software, whether that's "we have no idea what to use" or "we picked something and it's not fitting." We'll tell you what's realistic.

We'll ask what the day-to-day looks like, what's non-negotiable, and what's broken a different way in every dealership accounting software option you're considering, then narrow it down to the ones that genuinely fit instead of the ones with the best marketing.
No. We're not an affiliate for any dealership accounting software vendor, so there's no reason for us to steer you toward one option over another except whether it actually fits how you work.
That happens more than people expect with dealership accounting software, especially for businesses with a workflow that doesn't match how most off-the-shelf options assume a business like yours runs. When that's the case, we build a dealership accounting software replacement custom around your actual process instead of asking your team to adapt to someone else's.
The opposite, usually, with dealership accounting software specifically. Off-the-shelf dealership accounting software has a learning curve because it's built for a generic version of your business, not yours specifically. We pick or build dealership accounting software around how your team already works, so nobody has to learn a new way of doing their job, it matches the one they already have.
Yes. Tell us where things stand with dealership accounting software, we'll tell you what it takes and what it costs, whether that's picking something off-the-shelf, implementing it, or building something custom. The decision on dealership accounting software stays yours either way.
No. A franchise dealership's accounting runs inside a DMS with factory warranty claims and OEM statement reporting built in. An independent repair shop doesn't carry that overhead and needs invoicing-focused software instead, which is what our auto repair shop invoice software page covers.
