The UK's Finance Partner for Growing Automotive Businesses
Most automotive businesses don't have an accounting problem. They have a profit visibility problem.
If you don't know exactly where your business makes money—or where it's leaking it—you'll struggle to improve profitability, protect cash flow and make confident decisions.
In a focused 30-minute review
We'll identify whether you're losing profit through:
- Incorrect VAT Margin Scheme treatment
- Poor vehicle stock valuation
- Weak cash flow visibility
- Unprofitable departments
- Missed tax planning opportunities
You'll leave with a clear action plan—even if you never become a client.
Trusted Specialists In Automotive Finance
You're not short of numbers.
You're short of the right numbers.
Most owners know
- Revenue
- Bank balance
- Tax bill
But they don't know
- Which departments generate the highest profit
- Whether servicing is subsidising vehicle sales
- Which vehicles produce the best margins
- Whether stock valuation is increasing Corporation Tax
- Whether they're applying the VAT Margin Scheme correctly
- Where cash will become tight three months from now
Without that visibility, every important decision becomes guesswork.
The three profit leaks costing UK automotive businesses the most.
The VAT Margin Scheme
Many automotive businesses either overpay VAT or unknowingly expose themselves to HMRC risk because their Margin Scheme isn't being applied correctly. We'll check whether yours is.
Vehicle Stock Valuation
An incorrect stock valuation can inflate taxable profits, increasing your Corporation Tax unnecessarily. We'll review whether your current approach is costing you money.
Flying Blind
Most accountants produce historic accounts. We'll identify the financial information you need to make better commercial decisions every month—not just at year end.
We'll check all three completely free.

1.Without asking anyone, can you name the department that made the most gross profit last quarter — and the one that lost money?
2.Do management accounts reach you within 10 working days of month end, with profit shown by department?
3.Do you know true gross per used unit after prep, recon, warranty provision and stocking interest — not just invoice margin?
4.Is finance and add-on commission income tracked separately, with a provision for clawback and disclosure risk?
