Dental Accountant — Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Frequently Asked Questions

Home

Why isn’t compliance enough for my dental practice?

Compliance keeps you out of trouble. Performance moves you forward. Most accountants focus on tax returns and book keeping - that’s the bare minimum. But compliance doesn’t tell you if your practice is healthy, profitable, or aligned with your goals. At Dental Accountant, we focus on performance clarity - helping you understand what’s really happening in your numbers, so you can grow confidently and build a practice that supports your lifestyle.

What do you mean by “performance accounting”?

Performance accounting goes beyond reporting. It’s about translating numbers into insights - cashflow, profitability, growth, and freedom. We help you measure the things that actually matter: how efficient your team is, where profit is leaking, and how close you are to your goals. It’s not about more spreadsheets - it’s about clarity, control, and confidence.

I already have an accountant — why switch?

You might not need to switch - but you might need more. If your current accountant only files your taxes, you’re probably missing the bigger picture. We work alongside dentists who want to understand their numbers, not just report them. We give you structure, insight, and accountability - so you can make better decisions and grow with less stress.

How is Dental Accountant different from other accountancy firms?

We don’t just manage numbers - we help you manage performance. Our entire approach is built around the Performance Growth Method, designed specifically for dental practice owners. It helps you: See where you are (Pulse), Define where you want to go (Possibility), Create a clear roadmap (Plan), Implement change (Performance), and Keep improving (Progress). We’re your partner in clarity - not just your accountant.

Do you only work with dentists?

Yes - and that’s exactly why it works. We understand the unique challenges of running a dental practice: balancing patient care, staffing, compliance, and growth. Every insight, benchmark, and system we use is tailored for dental professionals - not generic business templates.

What size of dental practice do you work with?

We support a range - from associates looking to buy their first practice to multi-site owners managing several locations. Our role adjusts to your needs: building strong financial foundations early or refining performance systems as you grow.

What happens after I get in touch?

We start with a Performance Pulse Call - a friendly, no-pressure conversation about where you are and what you want to achieve. From there, we show you exactly how we can help bring structure, clarity, and peace of mind to your financial performance.

What results can I expect?

You’ll gain clarity first - and growth second. Most clients feel immediate relief just seeing their numbers clearly. Over time, that clarity translates into improved profit, better cashflow, and more confidence in running the business. It’s not about overnight change - it’s about steady, sustainable progress.

Is this suitable if I’m not great with numbers?

Absolutely. That’s our job. We translate financial data into plain English and visuals you can actually use. You’ll always know what’s going on - without feeling overwhelmed or in the dark.
