Motor Trade
Over 90 years of experience in the motor trade, from dealership accountants to finance directors and owners
We know the motor trade inside out, because we have helped run, grow and fix them.
From dealer groups to independent garages, we don’t just advise, we can do the doing.
Our team has helped run dealer groups from the finance office to the boardroom, so we understand margins, margin VAT, stock, depreciation, manufacturer targets and the pressure of month and quarter end.
Wherever you sit in the trade, we do the doing, with hands-on experience of every major system, including Kerridge, Keyloop, Drive and Pinewood by Pinnacle.
