Dear Dental Practice Owner,
Would you agree with me if I said that business has become increasingly tough for independent dental practices like yours over the past few years?
I'm sure you've felt the pressure...
On top of competition from corporate dental chains, you have to deal with massive student loan debt that takes decades to pay off and ever-increasing confusion and complexities on how to bill third-party payers and how to appeal denied claims.
As someone who's spent the last 10 years working with dental practices across the US, I understand the unique challenges you face while running your business…
The truth is, most CPAs and accountants are generalists who serve a wide range of clients in all kinds of different industries.
That means they don’t have the time to develop the skills and expertise needed to understand the unique challenges you face as a dental practice owner.
As an accountant who specializes in serving dentists, I know that owning and operating a dental practice is very different from running any other kind of business...
In fact, I've discovered that there are 10 financial mistakes that dentists make when running their businesses.
The problem I run into all the time is that most of the dental practice owners I talk to don't have any idea that they have one (or more) of these business-killing problems...
That's why I decided to write my latest book...
