HHM CPAs Hosts 2026 Dealership CFO & Controller Seminar in Pensacola

HHM CPAs, a full-service CPA and advisory services firm with a specialized industry niche serving automotive dealerships, hosted its 2026 Dealership CFO & Controller Seminar August 25-26 at the Hilton Garden Inn Downtown Pensacola. The 1.5-day seminar brought dealership CFOs, controllers, and accounting professionals together for education, discussion, and practical training focused specifically on the financial and operational needs of automotive dealerships.

HHM CPAs has more than 40 years of experience providing accounting, tax, audit, and advisory services to automotive dealerships and dealer groups nationwide. The seminar is one of the ways HHM’s Dealership Services team supports dealership accounting professionals with industry-specific education and resources.

The program was led by Paula Mashburn, with Melissa Cordell and Chris Davis also presenting sessions throughout the event. Sessions gave dealership CFOs and controllers an opportunity to step away from daily responsibilities and focus on accounting processes, financial reporting, operational consistency, leadership, and dealership management.

Topics included dealership accounting checklists, account reconciliations, fixed assets, year-end preparation, leadership and management, and accountability. Discussions focused on practical ways dealership accounting departments can strengthen internal processes, improve consistency, prepare for year-end, and address common accounting challenges throughout the year.
