FRACTIONAL CFO / CFO REPLACEMENT
Executive Financial Leadership, Without the Full-Time Price Tag.
As a dealer group grows, the financial picture gets more complex — more rooftops, more OEM programs, more financing options, and more risk. Many groups aren’t yet at the point where a full-time CFO makes sense, or they find themselves suddenly without one after a departure. Either way, the dealer principal ends up carrying the load, or the controller is stretched well beyond their skillset.
Forecasting, reporting, and cash management from a CFO who knows the dealer financial statement inside and out.
Rooftop provides experienced, dealership-specific financial leadership on a fractional or interim basis. You get a CFO who speaks the language of the factory statement, floorplan, and fixed absorption from day one — at a fraction of the cost of a full-time executive.
What we deliver
Financial Analysis
Not just the final numbers on the statement, what created them. That thick binder from your 20 Group that rarely gets looked at raises questions, you need the answers.
Efficiency
We all know that time is money and headcount is expensive, but cutting in the wrong place can cost you even more. Get the right people doing the right job the right way.
Technology
From the DMS to the one off software, ensure the tools you’ve invested in are being utilized effectively in all departments.
Teamwork
Understand the conflict between departments, what it costs and how to overcome it.
Two ways to engage
Fractional CFO
Ongoing, part-time leadership on a retainer sized to your group — ideal for growing dealer groups that need strategic financial guidance without a full-time hire.
CFO Replacement
Interim coverage when your CFO or controller leaves, keeping the books, the bank, and the factory on track while you recruit — and helping you hire the right successor.
What you can expect
A clear, current view of performance at every rooftop
Financials you can actually make decisions from
Tighter control of cash, floorplan, and expenses
More of the dealer principal's time back for running the business
