Automobile dealerships

Tyler, Simms & St. Sauveur specializes in providing accounting, auditing and tax services to auto dealers and auto dealerships. In addition to these core services, we offer dealership valuations, tax planning and consulting, one-day dealership reviews, acquisitions and due diligence, succession and estate planning, employee pay plans and LIFO.

At Tyler, Simms & St. Sauveur we recognize that the challenges faced in owning and operating an automobile dealership are unique and ever changing. Your business is essentially comprised of several different businesses rolled into one, each with its own unique features. Your industry has evolved to the point that you need a CPA that is well versed in not only dealership accounting, but also estate and succession planning and tax minimization strategies, as well as tax compliance, dealership valuation, systems reviews, benefits administration and more.

In your business it is not enough to have a CPA simply prepare your taxes. You need an adviser who has invested the time, effort and energy into learning your industry. You have too much at stake to continue using a CPA who is not trained in the dealership environment.

At Tyler, Simms & St. Sauveur we have taken the time to understand your business. Our professional staff includes former dealership CFO’s and Controllers. We know the demands that are placed on your people and we know how to lessen their burden.

Our dealership practice is built on the belief that you need more than what you have been receiving in the past. We will meet with you quarterly to analyze your numbers and point out how you compare to your peers and where you may have opportunities to improve. We will not tell you how to run your dealership. We have been instrumental in designing and presenting a series of accounting courses for the New Hampshire Automobile Dealers Association. These courses are designed specifically with dealership personnel in mind. We have been featured speakers at NADA 20 groups. We are members of Auto Team America, a national group of accounting firms specializing in dealership accounting and the vagaries of your industry. As members of Auto Team America, we meet several times a year to discuss current and emerging industry issues. We develop products and strategies to help make your job easier.

  • Operational Audits
  • Employee Benefits Consulting
  • Estate and Tax Planning
  • Management Evaluations
  • Purchase Due Diligence Systems Reviews
  • LIFO Calculations and Compliance, and much more…
