Experience
Experience
- When state governments forced dealerships to close because of the COVID-19 pandemic, Boyer & Ritter immediately started working with NADA and the PAA to help dealers learn what government assistance was available. We realized dealers needed specific advice on how to apply and use crucial Payroll Protection Program loans. Partnering with a New England-based accounting firm, we created the “PPP Loan Forgiveness Workbook,” a free guide downloaded more than 50,000 times to date. The guide helps dealerships – and other businesses – not only obtain a PPP loan but also effectively use and track the money to maximize forgiveness.
- When the National Automobile Dealers Association (NADA) needed a subject matter expert to assist in educating the United States Congress on the role of floorplan financing in dealership operations and the potentially catastrophic impact a limited tax deduction could create, they called Boyer & Ritter to offer first-hand testimony and industry background to ensure the floorplan carve-out was included in the 2017 TCJA.
- When NADA needed a CPA firm to create “A Dealer Guide to the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017”, they called Boyer & Ritter to co-author the guide.
- When the Pennsylvania Automotive Association (PAA) was asking the Board of Vehicles in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania to increase the maximum amount that a dealer in the state can charge as a doc fee, they called on Boyer & Ritter to prepare an independent analysis of the Estimated Costs to Comply with the relevant code section, resulting in a 171% ($245) increase to the doc fee for all dealers in the state.
