Automotive & Dealer Services

Automotive Aftermarket Heavy Equipment

Drive Your Business Forward

Pursuing your business goals isn’t always a straightforward journey. Auto, heavy equipment, RV, and boat dealers, as well as businesses in the automotive aftermarket and heavy truck sectors, face major industry disruption—from the growth of electric and autonomous vehicles to consolidation, shifting franchise control, increasing online vendors, and the rigid and everchanging regulatory environment.

Strategic planning is crucial to strengthen profits, support your workforce, and overcome tax and compliance issues.

Explore how our industry-smart services can help you stay ahead of change and focus on what matters most: growing your business profitably.

Conquer Industry Challenges

Put your biggest challenges in the rear-view with guidance from our professionals.

Prioritize Transition Planning

For business owners near retirement, planning to pass the business on to family or new leadership can be a complicated process—one that should commence years ahead of the actual turnover.

Privately held business owners should integrate both the business’s needs and their personal financial goals when determining plans for future management, finding the right successor, and the legacy they’d like to leave behind.

Navigate Tax Regulations

Staggering tax challenges such as ever-changing state tax laws and federal income tax obligations can drain precious time and resources from your business without guidance from tax professionals versed in their nuances.

Additionally, cost segregation studies can help you avoid paying federal and state income taxes earlier than necessary after building, remodeling, expanding, or purchasing a facility.
