The DealersEdge Guide to Back Office and Accounting Consolidation serves as your comprehensive roadmap to navigating this multifaceted challenge. Designed specifically for growing auto dealership groups, this guide is packed with practical strategies, insights, and options to help you weigh the opportunities... and pitfalls... of centralizing core administrative functions.

​

As dealership groups scale through acquisition or expansion, decentralized processes become a liability. Redundancy, inconsistent reporting, and siloed operations can erode profit margins and obscure financial oversight. Yet, the path to centralization is anything but simple. From DMS integration hurdles to cultural resistance, from training gaps to loss of local knowledge, the road is filled with decision points that demand careful planning and expert guidance.


This DealersEdge Guide doesn’t prescribe a one-size-fits-all solution. Instead, it lays out a broad menu of consolidation opportunities across accounting, payroll, HR, compliance, IT, and more... along with clear explanations of benefits, challenges, and implementation strategies. Whether you’re aiming for cost savings, enhanced oversight, scalable growth, or all of the above, this guide helps you explore your options with clarity and confidence.


Includes: Detailed best practices, checklists, sample workflows, risk mitigation strategies, and real-world insights from dealership operations.
Create the efficiencies your growing organization demands... without compromising local strengths or service quality. Consolidate smarter with this DealersEdge Guide.
