DAYTON, Ohio — Brady Ware Dealership Advisors, one of the most trusted names in accounting and financial services for auto dealers in Georgia and the Midwest, is launching a new business model to help dealerships with more than their accounting functions. Brady Ware Dealership Advisors now offers comprehensive consulting services designed to focus on being more tax efficient, safeguarding dealership assets and helping dealerships with succession.

“There are a number of high-expense areas within a dealership that make it difficult for management to measure return on investment. From a CPA’s viewpoint, it’s necessary to understand and control these expenses,” Brady Ware Director Sam Agresti said. “In response, we’ve transformed the way we approach our relationship with dealerships. As we review the numbers monthly, quarterly, or annually for our dealership partners, we’re now able to pinpoint inefficiencies and provide strategic solutions to address those areas and increase profitability.”

Executives said some of the new services added focus on fixed and variable operations enhancement, fraud and safeguarding assets, employee placement services, warranty reimbursement, and digital marketing.

“For more than 30 years, I’ve crunched numbers for automotive groups and, from where I’m sitting, the math is the easy part,” said Sean McCarthy, noting he recently merged his practice with Brady Ware to offer CFO-level services to dealership partners. “But you can’t manage what you can’t measure. This team allows us to measure every aspect of the dealership business and create solutions that help them fill a need, grow their operation and best position them for the future.”
