Dealership Accounting

Car and machinery dealerships, garages, and combinations of these businesses – our car and machinery dealership team has specialist expertise in these industries

We know what it takes to run a car and machinery dealership

Operators in the industry need to consider down payments, used vehicles and marginal taxation, registrations, and many other important matters. They must also keep up with changes to the collective agreement. Fortunately, you are not alone – our specialists are here to help.

Sectors we serve

Car dealerships

Selling cars is all about confidence. But it is difficult to stay upbeat when you are worrying about the tax on imported cars, the VAT tied up in your stock or your bottom line. Keeping track of every little detail can be overwhelming. Not to us!

Machinery dealerships

Your receipts do not have to smell of engine oil for your customers to see you as a professional. We know everything from tractors to combine harvesters, from grass trimmers to circular saws, and from snowmobiles to quad bikes and mopeds. Let us help you determine whether your profit lies in selling machinery, parts or servicing.

Auto Repair shops

There are so many different types of garages. Some focus on servicing and repairs, others on bodywork and windscreens, and still others on tyres and engines. Some garage owners lose sleep over insurance bills, others over the choice of tyre treads. We may not know how to use diagnostic tools or an alignment bench, but we know everything there is to know about finance and administration.

We have a holistic understanding of the car and machinery dealership business

We know the legal requirements and best practices for used car dealerships. Whether you need to think about the treatment of marginal taxation, forwarding of imported cars, or consignment stock, we have the knowledge to advise you. We produce different levels of financial reporting, from branch figures to the performance of individual salespeople or technicians.

We understand the special characteristics of the industry and offer financial guidance, covering vehicle lead times, financing options, and cash flow management and insight, accounting for the seasonality of the market. When should employees be paid supplements for working on midweek public holidays? Is there a qualifying period before employees receive pay while on sick leave? Collective agreements can be challenging to interpret, but these situations are normal for us.
