Building a Financially Healthy Dental Practice & the Cash Surplus Playbook

Presented by Tanner Woolley, CPA, CFP®

Course Description:

Running a successful dental practice requires more than strong clinical skills. Practice owners also need a clear understanding of their numbers and a plan for what to do with the money their practice generates.

This practical session will focus on the financial metrics that matter most, common patterns that quietly reduce profitability, and a simple framework for putting monthly cash surplus to work.

Attendees will learn how to:

Identify the key financial metrics and benchmarks that indicate practice health
Read a practice P&L from an owner’s perspective and know which numbers deserve attention
Recognize four common financial dysfunctions in owner-operated practices and how to address them
Use a tiered approach for allocating excess cash among reserves, taxes, retirement, wealth building, and practice debt
