Jack Lee, Founder & Owner
When Jack walked into a dealership to begin a part-time job while in college, he had no way of knowing that he would still be marching around car dealerships forty years later. Having served as a service cashier and progressed up to a CFO and General Manager, Jack found his niche in managing accounting and finance. His bachelor’s degree in accounting has served him well. Often, people comment that dealership accounting is “different” and, therefore, difficult. But Jack contends that the accounting theory in the retail automobile business is right out of a textbook and really “not that hard.”
After Controller/CFO positions in five organizations spanning almost thirty-five years, in 2013, he created Auto Dealer Consulting LLC. The car business has been a good career. While it is still a profession, sharing knowledge and experience to give back to the retail auto dealer community is a large part of the mission. But, there are plenty of new things to learn. Usually, engagements present challenges and new twists to old problems. And like most environments, technology is a game of leapfrog. But, Auto Dealer Consulting considers personnel development the paramount responsibility.
Jack lives in the historic city neighborhood of Fell’s Point in Baltimore, Maryland. Jack’s wife, Sharon, also has a finance background and is with The Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine. Sharon often is wise counsel for business strategy and issues. They have three children with seven grandkids who reside in Annapolis, Jacksonville, and Baltimore.
