Industry context
Dealership books span the DMS, QuickBooks, and the cash moving between them.
The monthly close needs enough context to connect operating systems, vehicle activity, deposits, expenses, lenders, and receivables without forcing complex dealership accounting into a generic plan.
Inventory and lenders
Vehicle inventory, flooring, loans, and related cash movement create balance-sheet activity that needs careful review.
DMS and QuickBooks
The DMS runs dealership operations while QuickBooks supports the financial reporting the owner controls.
What we understand
Areas LedgerCrew understands
Vehicle sales and deposits
Organize the bookkeeping activity behind sales proceeds and bank deposits.
Inventory-related activity
Review the available records behind vehicle inventory movement where applicable.
Flooring and lender activity
Identify payments, balances, and related activity that require accurate classification.
Receivables and payments
Keep customer, lender, and payment activity visible within the agreed scope.
DMS-to-QBO context
Work with records from IDMS, Dealertrack, or DealerCenter where applicable.
Multiple accounts or locations
Confirm the additional account, integration, entity, or location scope before enrollment.
Monthly rhythm
A close process built around the real activity.
The work stays practical: access, reconciliation, exception review, reports, and clear answers when the file needs judgment.
Map dealership systems
Confirm DMS, QuickBooks, financial accounts, locations, and relevant lender or receivable activity.
Reconcile the operating flow
Organize included sales, deposit, expense, inventory, bank, and card activity.
Confirm judgment-heavy scope
Review complex inventory, flooring, buy-here-pay-here, multi-location, or multi-entity needs.
Scope guardrail
Complex dealership accounting requires scope review.
Inventory, flooring, lender and receivable activity, multiple locations, buy-here-pay-here complexity, and high account counts must be reviewed before enrollment. IDMS, Dealertrack, and DealerCenter are experience claims, not partnership claims.
QuickBooks ownership
Your books stay in your QuickBooks file.
LedgerCrew works inside the QuickBooks Online file you control, so you keep ownership, admin access, and a clean handoff if your needs change.
Subscription note: QuickBooks Online is billed separately. If you need a subscription, LedgerCrew can provide it and include it on your bill.
