How to Spot a Great CFO for Your Auto Dealership Group

Think your dealership group is too small to have a CFO but have accounting needs that are beyond your role as CEO? You may be surprised to learn that the value of having an interim CFO can increase value and reduce cost overall.

The right CFO can help you formulate and validate strategies for growth and viability. More than a controller, a CFO provides a financially oriented voice to the owner, CEO, or executive director. They understand the factors that drive the business, risks, and how to create value. The CFO is not just focused on numbers, but rather they partner with the CEO to carefully navigate the opportunities and the risks of taking your business to the next level.

Your dealership group is no different, and that’s why you may need a CFO. You need someone on your team who can strategically manage risk and organizational changes, in addition to expenses, growth, cash flow, and profitability. Most dealership groups have someone who can take advantage of anything the road throws at them.
