Questions dealers ask us
Do you audit dealerships?
No. We don't carry out audits. We get your ledgers, reconciliations and stock in shape before the auditors arrive, and support your team through the audit so it runs smoothly.
Can you cover our finance team if our FD or accountant leaves?
Yes. We can step in as interim FD or dealership accountant while you recruit or restructure, and stay for as long as you need us.
Which dealer systems do you work with?
Kerridge, Keyloop, Drive and Pinewood by Pinnacle, plus Xero. We help with DMS set-up, mapping and training so the data coming out is right.
Do you help with manufacturer composites?
Yes. We make sure your composite is accurate and correctly mapped, and turn it and your management accounts into reporting the board can act on.
How do you use AI and automation?
We automate the manual work in purchase ledger, reconciliations and reporting, and use AI tools to flag issues early, so month end is faster and your team spends time on decisions.
Do you only work with Suffolk dealers?
No. We work with dealer groups, independents and garages across England.
