Independent auto dealers

Auto dealer accounting software for accountants, branded as yours

Independent dealers buy at auction, recondition cars, pay down floor plan lines and sell with financing and add-ons. Accountants who serve used car lots and small dealerships track each vehicle from purchase to sale. The HelloBooks White-Label License lets your firm keep that record in software bearing its own name, so dealers sign in to your platform to see the lot’s real profit.

Each car is its own small project

A vehicle picks up auction fees, transport, reconditioning and parts before it sells. Your reviewers tag those costs to the unit so gross profit per car is visible. AI categorisation handles lot rent, utilities and advertising, and bank reconciliation matches floor plan payoffs and lender funding deposits.

Dealers appear in your console with their close status and whatever still sits in the review queue. If a dealer has funded deals without matching deposits, your team sees it on that list before month end and can call the finance office rather than discovering it later.

  • Tag auction, transport and recon costs to units
  • Match lender funding to completed deals
  • Track floor plan draws and payoffs
  • Report gross profit per vehicle

Floor plans, service bays and title fees

Floor plan interest and curtailments add up quietly, and service departments bring their own parts and labor. Your staff record them in separate accounts so owners can see each department. Sales tax on vehicles, title and registration fees and any dealer licensing rules remain the dealer’s and your firm’s responsibility.

Dealers who hold property or a finance company separately can use higher plans with multi-entity support. Your firm can add as many reviewers as it needs without per-seat charges, which helps at quarter end when floor plan audits and lender requests stack up.

Dealer fees set by your firm

Dealership companies stay on published HelloBooks plans with a firm discount for your practice. HelloBooks invoices the firm alone. You set the monthly fee the dealer pays and bill it directly, whether a flat rate for a small lot or a larger fee for a dealer with a service department.

Your firm owns dealer data and may export it for a floor plan audit, a lender review or a sale of the business, keeping the vehicle history intact. Founding firms are welcome now, particularly practices already serving several independent dealers in their region.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Can we track profit on each vehicle?
Yes. When your reviewers tag purchase and reconditioning costs to each unit, reports show gross profit per car sold, which helps the dealer decide what to buy at the next auction.
Does HelloBooks handle title and registration filings?
No. Title, registration and dealer licensing filings remain with the dealer and your firm. HelloBooks records the related fees and payments in the books so they reconcile.
Can the service department be reported separately?
Yes. Your staff record parts and labor income and costs in their own accounts, so branded reports show service department results on their own, apart from vehicle sales.
Who pays HelloBooks for the dealer’s plan?
Your firm. HelloBooks bills only the firm, with a firm discount on each plan, and you set what the dealer pays you for bookkeeping and reporting each month.
