Coconut + Auto Dealers: Faster Bank Import
Auto dealerships process floor plan financing, vehicle sales, trade-ins, F&I product income, and manufacturer incentives — requiring complex bank reconciliation. If you use Coconut for your accounting, you need a fast way to get bank statement data into the system.
BankScan AI for Auto Dealers Using Coconut
BankScan AI converts any bank statement PDF to CSV formatted for direct import into Coconut. Convert dealership bank statements to spreadsheets for floor plan reconciliation, sales tracking, and manufacturer incentive verification.
The Auto Dealers + Coconut Workflow
Auto dealership controllers reconcile floor plan financing curtailments against vehicle sales, track F&I (Finance and Insurance) product income, verify manufacturer incentive and holdback payments, match customer financing deposits from lenders, and manage trade-in payoffs. Bank statements are reconciled daily against the DMS (Dealer Management System) to ensure all vehicle transactions are properly recorded.
Key terms you'll encounter: floor plan curtailment, deal jacket, holdback, F&I income.
