I have been in the automotive business for over 20 yrs. Prior to this I worked in Public Accounting so my experience comes full circle, from greeting the customer all the way to financial statement and audit.Right from the start, my 1st day at a dealership I was learning hands-on, digging out info from the DMS and figuring out ways to make processes stronger & more efficient.Now, as a dealership consultant, working in an industry that I love, I am able to share with Controllers, Office Mgrs, and CFOs, how to take on the whole dealership. Teaching them to get out from behind the desk and work WITH dept mgrs to increase profits and customer satisfaction.Specifically by answering questions like:How do I get more out my DMS?Can I use Excel more effectively for reporting and analysis?What reports do I really need and how do I use them?How do I streamline my dealership processes?Whether you are using CDK, R&R, or any other DMS system, I can show you how to get the best out of them and increase employee productivity at your dealership.Speaking Engagements: Apr 19 - Toyota Southeast Comptrollers' Association, Chattanooga, TNJun 17 - Profit Accounting for Controllers & Office ManagersNJCAR Office Managers Workshop, Clark, NJSep 16 - Greater than the Sum of its Parts DepartmentMichigan Association of CPA's, Novi, MIApr 15 - Profit Accounting Academy, Advanced "Give us a few days and we'll give you a profit-focused General Manager, Dealer, Super Controller, CFO, or Office Manager", Orlando, FLJul 13 and 14 - Profit Accounting Academy, Advanced, Orlando, FLApr 13 - 4 Keys to Financial Success for Truck DealersProcede Software Conference, San Diego, CAFeb 13 - 4 Keys to Financial Success for Truck DealersNADA/ATD Convention and Expo.
