Everything a dealer’s books need.
Handled by people who know the floor.

Appliance.io runs the sale, the delivery and the driver. It has no accounting module — so we read its reports and post the books ourselves.

Deposits icon

A deposit is not a sale. We book it like one that has not happened yet.

Half down today, the unit in six weeks, two of five pieces next Thursday. Every order stays open until the last piece lands; deposits sit as liabilities, revenue lands on delivery.

  • Deposits held as liabilities
  • Revenue recognized on delivery
  • Partials stay open
  • Order balances verified

Payouts icon

Several processors. Fees netted out. Every payout tied back to its order.

Visa, AmEx, ACH, Synchrony, AIO Pay, financing — payouts land days late, in batches, under names that don’t match the ticket. We match each one to its sales order and code every fee.

  • AIO Pay, cards, ACH, financing
  • Matched by amount, date and payer
  • Fees coded, never buried
  • 42 of 42, every month

Sales tax icon

Tax is due where the appliance lands, not where the showroom sits.

Appliance.io captures the delivery address. We apply that jurisdiction’s rate, keep exempt sales documented, and file in every state you deliver into — as part of the close, not a quarter-end scramble.

  • Delivery-address rates
  • Exempt sales documented
  • Filed with the monthly close
  • Every state you sell into

Plans & rebates icon

The dealer-only revenue streams a general bookkeeper misses.

Protection-plan revenue deferred over the term. Manufacturer rebates booked when earned and chased until paid. Floor-plan interest accrued monthly, not discovered at year-end.

Migration icon

Moving onto Appliance.io? Sales, inventory and delivery move. QuickBooks stays for the books.

Appliance.io’s team moves the store. We run the accounting side: map the books, verify every balance, and make sure sales, tax and reports are right from day one. For Drimmers that meant QuickBooks Desktop seats, DispatchTrack and spreadsheets into one system — one QuickBooks seat instead of one per employee, nothing lost.

  • Appliance.io moves the store, we move the books
  • Balances verified in both systems
  • The store keeps selling throughout
  • Drimmers: zero transactions lost

The difference we accept between the bank and your books before the owner report goes out. Every dollar Appliance.io took in is in QuickBooks, coded, and tied to a bank line.

How We Helped Drimmers Rebuild Years of Books and Move to Appliance.io

The same dealer back office after the rebuild: clear desk, one laptop, files closed
After
A dealer back office before the rebuild: desk buried in receipts, slips and sticky notesBefore

Drag the handle. Drimmers’ back office, before and after.

“Our books had been neglected for years. A/R was a mess, customer deposits were untracked, and sales tax could not be calculated correctly because so many orders had been left stuck in estimate status. Every bookkeeper before Danzinger & Co. struggled to convert those sales orders to invoices because the payment dates never lined up. They actually understood our industry. They untangled the mess, ran the migration onto Appliance.io without losing a transaction, and got us caught up. Our books are clean for the first time in years.”

Our part

We ran the accounting side of the move: mapped the books, verified every balance, and made sure sales, tax and reports were right from the first day. QuickBooks stayed for the books — one seat instead of one per employee. Along the way we worked directly with Appliance.io’s team and recommended enhancements to the reports we post from every month.

How the month runs

Three steps.
Then it just runs.

You keep your systems. We get read access.

A reporting login to Appliance.io, your QuickBooks Online file, bank and processor statements. Moving to Appliance.io? The accounting side of the move starts here.

Read the reports. Post the books. Reconcile to the penny.

There is no Appliance.io–QuickBooks integration, so we do the posting ourselves. Payouts matched to orders, deposits held as liabilities, revenue on delivery, tax at the delivery address. Closed by mid-month.

One report you can run the store on.

P&L, balance sheet, margin by category, deposit balance, open orders. Sales tax filed in every state you delivered into. In January the same books are already tax-ready.

Your CPA, or ours

Keep the CPA you trust — we hand over a tax-ready packet. Or we file it too.

The fee

Flat monthly from $400, quoted after the free review. No hourly surprises.

Got questions? We’ve got answers.

Can I keep my CPA?

Yes. We do the monthly work and hand a tax-ready packet to whoever files. If you would rather have one firm for everything, we file too.

I already have a bookkeeper.

We can work alongside them on the Appliance.io side, or take the whole ledger. Most dealers move it all once they see the first close.

Do you only work with dealers on Appliance.io?

No. We work with dealers on Appliance.io, QuickBooks Online and QuickBooks Desktop. If you are moving onto Appliance.io, we handle the accounting side of the move.

Does Appliance.io charge a monthly fee?

No. There is no upfront cost and no monthly fee. Pricing details are on appliance.io.

Does Appliance.io pay you to recommend them?

No. There is no referral fee or revenue share in either direction. We are two independent companies whose clients overlap and who work well together.

Will we lose data in the migration?

Customers, items, open orders, deposit balances and opening balances are verified side by side before cutover. Drimmers lost zero transactions.

We’re in season — is there time?

The store keeps selling throughout; nothing is frozen. Timing runs on your team’s pace and Appliance.io’s onboarding, and we fit the books around it.

How quickly can you onboard us?

The books are usually onboarded within a few weeks. Catch-up bookkeeping, which most dealers need, is factored into the timeline.

Do you work with our buying group?

Yes. We work with dealers across Nationwide and BrandSource and with major distributors including ADC, DMI and NEAG.

Danzinger & Co. is an independent accounting firm and is not owned or operated by Appliance.io.

We want to hear from you!

Tell us which system you are on today, roughly how many orders a month you write, and whether the books are current or behind. A senior accountant will reply within one business day.

“Our business isn’t a typical one. We offer several services across different entities, use multiple pricing models, and manage a large international team. Danzinger & Co. took the time to truly understand how we work and built an accounting structure that fits our organization. As a result, our financials accurately reflect our business, with revenue recognized correctly and reports we can confidently rely on when making operational and growth decisions. It’s refreshing to work with an accounting firm that goes beyond bookkeeping and takes the time to understand the business behind the numbers.”
