Accounting software built for Canadian car dealerships.
Know your gross on every unit before the keys hand over. Per-VIN cost tracking, floor plan reconciliation, GST/HST/PST by province, OMVIC-aware reporting — all wired to plug into your existing DMS.
By the time recon, transport, commissions, and floor plan interest hit the books, the per-deal gross from your DMS doesn't match what landed in the bank.
Detail, tires, body work, mechanical — half of it ends up in 'miscellaneous' on a P&L instead of attached to the VIN that incurred it.
GST in Alberta, HST in Ontario, PST in BC and Saskatchewan, QST in Quebec. QuickBooks-plus-spreadsheets is how most independents handle it. It's how mistakes happen.
Four capabilities your DMS isn't designed to handle.
Per-unit cost and profit tracking
Every recon dollar, transport fee, commission, and floor plan day attaches to the VIN. When the deal closes, you see actual gross — not the optimistic gross from the deal jacket.
Canadian tax done right
GST/HST/PST/QST per province, with the trade-in-difference logic baked in. OMVIC reporting hooks for Ontario, AMVIC for Alberta, MVSA for BC. The figures match what the regulator asks for.
Floor plan and lender reconciliation
Track interest by unit, pay-off reconciliation against your floor plan lender's statements, and a clean view of carrying costs by inventory age.
Plays nicely with your DMS
Kountr is not a DMS. We import deal data from PBS, Serti, CDK, Dealerpull and others — via CSV today, API where supported — and handle the accounting side from there.
Four steps from deal to filed.
Import deals
From your DMS, via CSV or API. VIN, customer, financing, F&I products.
Attach costs
Recon, transport, commissions, holdback. Every line lands on the right VIN.
See real gross
Per-unit P&L on every closed deal. Per-rooftop, per-month, per-salesperson rollups.
File taxes
GST/HST/PST/QST returns in the format your province asks for. OMVIC-ready dealer reports for Ontario.

Asked and answered.
Does Kountr replace my DMS?+
No. Kountr is accounting software built for dealers — we sit alongside your DMS (PBS, Serti, CDK, Dealerpull, etc.), not on top of it. We import deal data via CSV or API where supported and handle the books from there.
How does Kountr handle floor plan interest?+
Floor plan interest is tracked by unit, so when a vehicle sells you see exactly how much carrying cost ate the gross. Pay-off reconciliation against your floor plan lender's statements is a one-screen workflow.
Can it export to QuickBooks if my accountant needs it?+
Yes. Year-end exports in QuickBooks-compatible journal entry format, plus standard CSV and PDF. If your accountant insists on QuickBooks Online, you can run both in parallel and reconcile.
Does it work for BHPH dealers?+
Yes. Notes receivable, payment schedules, late-payment tracking, and per-unit profit-after-financing are first-class concepts in Kountr — not bolted on.
Does it handle OMVIC dealer reporting?+
Kountr produces the figures Ontario dealers need for OMVIC reporting in the format the regulator asks for. We don't submit on your behalf — you stay in control of the filing.
What about commercial or fleet sales?+
Commercial and fleet sales are handled with the same per-unit cost-and-revenue model. Multi-vehicle deals can be grouped into a single transaction with separate per-unit gross.
How does multi-rooftop pricing work?+
Per rooftop, with consolidated reporting across all locations. Talk to us for groups with five or more rooftops — there's a custom plan that includes per-location P&L and inter-company reconciliation.
Is my data Canadian-hosted?+
Yes. All Service data sits in AWS Canada (Central) — see our Security page for the full posture.
