Live from the AICPA Dealership Conference in Nashville. 📍 Booth #404

Every controller and CPA here has a version of the same problem: the record you need is three systems back, or in a box nobody can find, and the audit won’t wait.

That’s the conversation we’re having at the booth today and tomorrow. Joe Green and Travis Peterson can walk you through how dealers keep full ownership of their documents and data, searchable in seconds, through every system change and every store sale.

Stop by, ask the hard questions, and see what’s new in reporting.

Every dealership has a room like this. Shelves of boxes, labels in three different handwritings, and one file an auditor needs by Friday. One View turns that room into a search bar, so the answer takes seconds instead of an afternoon.

You sold the store. The records did not stay behind. Deal files, accounting records, and employee files still have to be kept and produced for years after the sale, and that responsibility rides with you, not the new owner. One View keeps those records yours, organized, and easy to pull, without paying to store boxes long after the sign changes.

The request always arrives at a bad time.

A manufacturer wants warranty backup for a claim from fourteen months ago. A lender wants a signed document from a deal that closed in another state. An attorney wants everything related to one customer, and the definition of everything is theirs, not yours.

None of these are unusual.

What varies between dealerships is how long it takes to answer, and how many people get pulled off their real work to help.

The stores that answer quickly are not more organized by temperament. They have one place to look. They can search inside the documents rather than guessing at folder names. And access is logged, so nobody has to reconstruct after the fact who saw what.

That is a system, not a habit.

What a dealership controller actually spends a week on, in rough order of time:

Closing the month. Chasing paperwork that should already have been turned in. Answering requests for documents from other departments. Reconciling schedules. Explaining a number to somebody who does not want to hear it. Preparing whatever an auditor or a manufacturer has asked for. Filing, or supervising filing.

Notice how much of that is not accounting.

It is document retrieval with an accounting job attached.

Most software sold into a dealership addresses the transaction. Very little of it addresses what happens after: where the supporting document ended up, and whether anyone can pull it three years later when an auditor or OEM asks.

That is where the hours go. It is also where the exposure sits.

In August 1996, our goal was simple: give dealerships a digital source of truth for their own records.

Back then, month-end accounting was printed on continuous-feed green-bar paper and filed in binders. It took up space, it was easy to damage, and nobody could find anything inside it.

Our first product took a dealership's month-end data off tape and returned it on CD. That is where the name CD-View came from.

The technology kept moving. CDs gave way to scanning. Scanning moved into the browser. In 2000, CD-View became One View.

The mission never moved.

A dealership should hold its own copy of its own records, somewhere it controls, independent of whatever system produced them.

Thirty years later, that is still the work.

Most dealerships cannot say, precisely, how long they are required to keep a given record.

Not because anyone is careless.

Because the answer differs by document type, by state, by franchise agreement, and by which regulator is asking. Deal files, employment records, warranty backup, accounting schedules and tax documentation do not share a single number.

So in practice one of two things happens.

Everything gets kept forever, which costs space and creates its own exposure. Or somebody makes a reasonable guess, and the guess gets discovered later.

We are putting together a dealership record retention schedule in plain language, organized by document type. If that would be useful, say so in the comments and we will send it over when it is ready.
