Accounting Biz provides accounting for auto repair shop owners and collision centers, covering monthly books, parts and labor margins, technician payroll, sales tax and tax planning. We work with independent shops in Asheville, NC, around Tampa Bay and online across the U.S. Each shop is paired with its own accountant.
Picture each repair order as a small business of its own. Bookkeeping splits it into parts, labor, shop supplies and fees, then adds up what each one earned and cost. Over a month, those totals show your real margins, your cash position and where profit leaks out.
A full lot looks like success, but parts sold below a healthy markup, comebacks, double-paid supplier bills and card fees quietly drain profit. Careful bookkeeping shows which is costing you.
When they are mixed, margins are invisible. We record them separately so each has its own result.
These slip through easily. We track them so you are not paying for the same part twice.
An insurer’s check and a customer’s deductible often cover one job. We match both to the repair order.
Mixed pay styles cause mistakes. We run each paycheck correctly.
We rebuild the missing months first, then stay current.
We file your sales tax, prepare your business tax return and handle 1099 filing for subcontractors.
Independent repair shops, auto body and collision centers, tire and transmission shops, oil change locations, diesel and fleet repair, and mobile mechanics. Two bays or ten, our body shop accounting and repair shop services fit.
North Carolina and Florida treat repair sales tax differently, which confuses owners in both places. We help shops in Asheville, St. Petersburg, Tampa, and Clearwater sort it out, and we work with shops online nationwide.
