A FULLY COSTED INCLUSIVE
HOLISTIC PRACTICE PLAN

Many dentists who own their dental practice invest significant sums of money into their practice rather than savings and investments.  This can leave a lower amount of residual monies to invest especially if it has been a tough year.

At DFA, we will look at how to create an inclusive holistic financial plan to unlock the potential of the dental practice to help fund your protection premiums and allow saving into pensions and investments.  We will agree a realistic timescale to implement any recommended changes and progress the plan forwards.

We will prioritise the issues which we believe need to change and create a timescale for when these should be implemented. It is important factor that we establish the required output from the practice to achieve all your financial needs and goals.

OUR EXPERIENCE

We have years of experience working with many practices of different sizes and we know all the changes that can be made simply and with little expense. Once implemented through the plan, we can achieve significant increases to the net profit of the practice. This means that we can get closer to our three objectives:

  1. The practice must produce sufficient income to cater for all current and future business and personal cash flow requirements.
  2. The practitioner/s are able to create sufficient income within a realistic time frame to allow time for business planning, family and leisure.
  3. The financial plan, once agreed, must provide a high level of predictability and peace of mind.
The above, in our view, are essential if a practitioner is to have a sustainable work/life balance which improves their health and relationships.
  • We evaluate every financial system within the practice.
  • We identify and establish financial processes that are profitable.
  • We establish how much turnover is required to cover existing expenses.
  • We ultimately establish how much turnover/profit is required to make the necessary changes in light of the plan.

COMMON ITEMS WE
CAN INVESTIGATE

Below is a list of the common items we will investigate:
  • Expenses and costs
  • Profitability
  • Staffing
  • Fees
  • Turnover
  • Signage
  • Client numbers

Benchmarking

We have a reference bank of client’s accounts and have created benchmarks against these. We will analyse your accounts and establish where your practice succeeds and where we may need to consider some changes. We can also use benchmarks for patient numbers, private and NHS fees and the general trends of these with respect to profitability.

We will draw up a list of priorities for the changes you need to consider and the best plan of action going forwards.
