It’s tempting to wait until Q4 to start tackling your dealership’s financial cleanup—but by then, you’re already behind.
In this episode, hosts Camron Wilson and Michael Hayes sit down with Heather Westman and Sharlene Croteau, both instructors at NADA Academy, to break down what dealers should be doing now to close out the year with more confidence and less chaos.
They explain the most common year-end financial mistakes they see, like ignoring aging inventory, failing to monitor receivables, or missing floorplan costs. They share practical strategies for forecasting, involving department managers in planning, and reviewing overlooked areas like vendor lists, contract renewals, and expense allocations.
Heather and Sharlene also preview the upcoming Financial Management seminars hosted by NADA, where they go even deeper on dealership operations, forecasting, and financial leadership. Learn more or register at: nada.org/seminars
