At Innovative Accountants, we understand the fast-paced and high-stakes environment of automotive retail. From tracking vehicle inventory to navigating complex tax structures and commission-based payrolls, we offer end-to-end accounting solutions built specifically for auto dealerships.

Bookkeeping & Financial Reporting for Dealerships

Whether you run one location or several, clear financial visibility is essential. We track every sale, loan payoff, vendor expense, and cost of goods sold—helping you understand your margins in real time. Our dealership accounting experts prepare monthly financial statements that give you insight into performance and profitability across your inventory and departments.

Tax Planning & Entity Structuring

Auto dealers face industry-specific tax regulations and reporting requirements. We specialize in dealership tax compliance, including floor plan interest deductions, depreciation rules, and multi-state sales tax management. We’ll also guide you through the best legal structure—LLC, S-Corp, or partnership—for long-term tax efficiency and asset protection.
