Automotive

Running a successful automotive dealership is much more than selling cars. It’s about creating a “top class” service experience that keeps customers coming back for their next car purchase, service needs, repair issues, parts orders or assistance with financing throughout the ownership lifecycle.

Ensuring that your dealership is operating at peak profitability not only requires a sharp leadership team, but also the assistance of experienced advisors to provide guidance and direction. Traditional accounting firms can manage basic compliance and regulatory issues, but in this competitive industry, more is often needed. For more than 40 years, our firm has been serving the needs of auto dealers across Louisiana and building an unmatched reputation in the industry.
