Frequently Asked Questions
Why does my dental practice need a CPA who specializes in dental?
Dental practices deal with financial situations that look different from a typical small business. Equipment purchases, production-based compensation, practice transitions, and insurance-driven cash flow. A CPA who works with dental practices regularly understands those patterns instead of treating your practice like any other business client.
Can you help if I'm buying into a practice, selling, or bringing on a partner?
Yes. We help with practice valuations and buy/sell agreements for dental practices going through a transition, whether you’re buying in, selling, or bringing on a partner.
What dental-specific CPA services do you provide?
We offer dental practice accounting services tailored to the realities of running a practice, including equipment depreciation planning, cash flow planning, production-based compensation tracking, practice valuations, and financial planning for practice owners.
Do all paths include tax returns?
Yes. No matter which path you choose, your dental practice’s tax return is always included.
What if my practice already has a bookkeeper or office manager handling the books?
No problem. We can work alongside your current bookkeeper to make sure everything flows smoothly into your tax planning and year-end reporting.
