I’m excited to share with you my findings from an analysis of the financials of 25 separate dental practices.

I highly recommend going through your practice’s financial statements to understand better where you are generating revenue and where your expenses are going.

In this episode, I will be sharing with you a summary of my analysis of these 25 separate dental practices, the similarities that I found in the 2 groups and things that you might want to start paying attention to if you want to improve your cashflow.
