Tucson, Arizona is home to many innovative businesses, but one company in particular is transforming how dealerships across the country approach Finance and Insurance (F&I). Elite FI Partners, founded by industry veterans Michael and Emilia Aufmuth, has grown into a national leader in automotive F&I training, products, and dealer profit participation programs.
From adaptive training and dynamic coaching to virtual finance departments and dealer reinsurance programs, Elite FI Partners is shaping the future of F&I with cutting-edge solutions that help dealerships increase profitability, improve compliance, and deliver a better customer experience.
Adaptive Training and Dynamic Coaching
One of the biggest challenges in the dealership world is keeping finance managers sharp, consistent, and motivated. Elite FI Partners solves this with their Adaptive Training approach. Unlike rigid scripts or one-size-fits-all programs, Adaptive Training focuses on understanding individual strengths, identifying opportunities for growth, and creating personalized coaching plans.
Through Dynamic Coaching, finance managers can role-play real-world scenarios, practice menu presentations, and develop stronger communication skills. This approach ensures that F&I teams are not only compliant but also effective in presenting products and overcoming objections.
Dealer Timeline: Connecting the Team
Communication across a dealership can be complex. That’s why Elite FI Partners created the Dealer Timeline, a platform that centralizes training sessions, audit reports, dealership visit recaps, and more. This tool keeps everyone aligned—from dealer principals to finance managers—by providing a clear, organized record of progress and development.
The result is a dealership culture built on accountability, growth, and shared success.
Industry-Leading F&I Products
At the core of Elite FI Partners’ success is their suite of F&I products that dealerships can offer customers. These include:
-
Vehicle Service Contracts – Comprehensive coverage options, from exclusionary to high-mileage plans.
-
GAP Protection Programs – Flexible options up to 96 months, including GAP Plus, Express, and No-Chargeback.
-
Ancillary Products – Key replacement, tire and wheel, paint and fabric protection, roadside assistance, and more.
-
Capital Advance Programs – Dealer funding solutions that provide immediate working capital based on performance.
By combining these programs with their training and coaching, Elite FI Partners ensures dealerships don’t just sell products—they deliver value customers trust.
Dealer Profit Sharing Programs
Dealerships today are looking for ways to take more control of their profits. Elite FI Partners leads the way with Dealer Reinsurance Programs, which include reinsurance and wealth-building structures.
Dealers can explore various automotive reinsurance programs such as:
-
Traditional CFC and NCFC options
These programs allow dealers to capture underwriting profits, manage reserves, and build long-term wealth—rather than leaving all the upside with an outside administrator.
NextGen Virtual F&I: The Future of Finance
Perhaps one of the most exciting developments is the NextGen Virtual Finance Department. With staffing challenges and turnover impacting dealerships nationwide, NextGen gives stores access to a high-performing, fully staffed finance department—virtually.
From product presentations and lender submissions to contracting, funding, and compliance, NextGen handles everything remotely while working seamlessly with the sales team. Dealers gain consistency, profitability, and compliance without adding headcount.
