Physicians, dentists, mental health professionals, veterinarians, and the operators of substance abuse and assisted living facilities — each with practice economics that deserve specialty CPA depth.
Whether you own a medical practice with insurance billing complexity, a dental practice navigating equipment financing, a mental health practice juggling 1099 clinicians, or a treatment facility working with payer mix — the financial dynamics differ meaningfully from a typical small business.
Generic small-business CPA work misses the highest-leverage moves in each of these practices. We have built playbooks for each — refined through actual engagements — that catch the work most CPAs leave on the table.
Six specialty areas, each with its own playbook.
Physician-owned practices — entity work, equipment financing, partnership economics, retirement plan optimization.
