DEO's Financial Secrets to Grow Dental Organizations

by Ken Kaufman

About This Book

Dental entrepreneurs often have only part of their vocation mastered: dentistry. Meanwhile, they overlook the accounting and finance principles necessary to thrive as a business leader. The business acumen of a dental entrepreneur is the difference between their success and failure in growing a group of dental practices or becoming a DSO.

In DEO’s Financial Secrets to Grow Dental Organizations, Ken Kaufman teaches you the critical finance tools you didn’t learn about in dental school to up your entrepreneurial game. As your dental business grows, your skillset must expand past root canals and prophys. Being an expert dentist means nothing in the face of being unable to make payroll.

From best practices for expanding to new locations to managing your relationship with your CPA, DEO’s Financial Secrets to Grow Dental Organizations teaches you how to care for your business in equal measure to caring for your patients. Once you master the financial aspect of being a dental entrepreneur, you’ll lay the necessary groundwork to achieve the impact you want to have on the world.
